In their quest for a second straight NFC title, the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks were in trouble. Playing against the Packers at home in the NFC Championship game on January 18, 2015, they were down, 16-0 at halftime and 19-7 with just a few minutes remaining in the game. Then with 2:09 left, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson – capping a 69-yard drive that took under two minutes – scored a touchdown on a short run, making it 19-14. The Seahawks recovered an onside kick at midfield, scored on a 24-yard Marshawn Lynch touchdown run about 30 seconds later, and were successful on the 2-point conversion, taking an improbable 22-19 lead. Now, facing a hostile crowd and seemingly insurmountable momentum, Aaron Rodgers led Green Bay from its own 22 into Seattle territory, where Mason Crosby nailed a 48-yard field goal to force overtime. The Seahawks got the ball to start overtime on their own 13, and Wilson drove them to the Packers 35. That’s when, with 11:41 left, Wilson hit receiver Jermaine Kearse deep down the middle for a 35-yard touchdown to win it for Seattle, 28-22. ― NFL 100
