What a rivalry Seattle and San Francisco have created in the NFC West. Sunday in Seattle the two teams met for a third time this season. All the money was on the table as the winner would advance to Superbowl XLVIII. Wilson was stripped on the 1st play of the game and the San Francisco offense only got a field goal out of it. The turnover would set the stage of what the day would bring, ebbs and flows of plays being made by both teams. Colin Kapernick would make plays throughout the day with his arm and mainly his legs to give the 49ers the lead for most of the game. However Russell Wilson kept fighting and made plays with his arms and legs to keep his team in it, then finally Seattle took the lead. San Francisco even had a chance to win the game late down by 6 before Richard Sherman deflected a pass intended for Michael Crabtree into the hands of a Seattle teammate for the game winning interception. Regardless of the outcome of the game (a Seahawks 23-17 victory) a black quarterback would be heading to the Superbowl. Seattle will try to win their 1st World Championship in 2 weeks. Meanwhile San Francisco fell just short of getting back to their 2nd straight Superbowl, it was their 3rd straight NFC Championship Game appearance.
