Five best plays in the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll-era
By Lee Vowell
3. Jermaine Kearse makes the game winning catch in the NFC Championship game
For most of the game, Kearse was terrible. Of Wilson’s four interceptions, two of them literally bounced off of Kearse’s hands. That Wilson still had enough faith to throw deep to Kearse for the game-winning touchdown says a lot about why Kearse is still playing with the Seahawks. And why he is getting so many targets.
Kearse, however, ran a great post route and used his body to shield the defender. Wilson threw the pass exactly where it needed to be thrown for Kearse. The catch capped a surprising and unforgettable comeback to get Seattle to the Super Bowl. Had the Seahawks scored late in that game, Kearse’s catch to set up Lynch may have been on this list. Sadly, it is not.
This one is, though. And like I said, I love fan footage.
