The Seattle Seahawks’ improbable comeback from a 31-0 halftime deficit came up just short against the Carolina Panthers, ending their season short of a third consecutive NFC Championship and trip to Super Bowl.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Russell Wilson exhorted his Seahawks teammates, appealing to their competitiveness.
“This is going to be the best comeback of all time if we can find a way,’’ he told them after they fell behind 31-0 and even the notion of victory seemed impossible.
There was no history to be made for the Seahawks, however. In their 31-24 NFC divisional playoff loss to the Carolina Panthers, they would wind up as just another team falling short after digging too deep a hole.
