The miracle at CenturyLink Field

Seriously, there is no explaining that game.

It should've been impossible; Seahawks were playing so utterly bad for three quarters, with endless fumbles, false starts and bad calls. But somehow - somehow - they stepped up in the last trembling minutes and changed 19-7 for the Packers, with little more than two (!) minutes left to play, to 19-14, then 19-22. Yes, they scored two touchdowns in 44 seconds.

9 Mill, the bar next door where I was watching the game with newfound friends from last week, pretty much exploded. Like, yeah.

Still, it wasn't over; Packers kicked a field goal, made it to 22-22 and overtime. We were having multiple strokes all around, but there was no stopping the Hawks at that point; they scored a 35-yard touchdown on the first drive in overtime, effectively killing the game with 28 points against Green Bay's 22.

I just... I don't... There's no... Wow.

15 seconds into this clip you can see me being just a wee bit excited. (Just a tad.)


Although I can truthfully say that I never lost hope completely, I can't quite believe the way they miraculously turned that game around, securing the conference championship and a place in Super Bowl XLIX, Febuary 1st. Whatever happens then, they've already won everything as far as I'm concerned.

Well done, boys. Well done!

    1. Jag lär mig! Det går inte att tappa koncentrationen - då blir det bara en enda röra av armar och ben och konstiga domslut - men så länge jag är skärpt så hänger jag med.
