The Seattle Seahawks’ 31-24 playoff loss to the Carolina Panthers after a remarkable second-half comeback, might hurt more than a blowout defeat.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The slimmer the deficit, the wider the wound.
The greater the comeback, the harder the comedown.
In their 31-24 loss to Carolina Sunday, the ever-gritty Seahawks played their hearts out.
Which is the very reason their hearts are so filled with pain.
The taste in Seattle’s mouth just got a fresh supply of bitter. Sunday might not have had the movie-script climax of last year’s Super Bowl, but it will haunt the Hawks nonetheless.
