The Seattle Seahawks have a long and storied history of late comebacks in the NFL. From the days of the legendary Steve Largent to the current era of Russell Wilson, the Seahawks have consistently found ways to pull off dramatic wins in the final minutes of games.
The most iconic of these comebacks was the “Beast Quake” in 2011. With the Seahawks trailing the New Orleans Saints late in the fourth quarter, Marshawn Lynch broke free for a 67-yard touchdown run that sent the crowd into a frenzy and sealed the win. The play was so memorable that it was immortalized in a bronze statue outside of CenturyLink Field.
The Seahawks have also had several other memorable comebacks. In 2012, they pulled off a dramatic overtime win against the New England Patriots, thanks to a game-winning touchdown pass from Wilson to Sidney Rice. In 2014, they overcame a 16-point deficit to beat the Green Bay Packers in overtime. And in 2015, they pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Detroit Lions, scoring two touchdowns in the final minute to win the game.
The Seahawks have also had some heart-breaking losses due to late comebacks. In 2014, they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs after giving up a touchdown with less than two minutes remaining in the game. And in 2016, they lost to the Atlanta Falcons after giving up a touchdown with just over a minute left.
The Seahawks’ late comebacks are part of what makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL. Whether it’s a dramatic win or heartbreaking loss, Seattle fans will always remember these moments for years to come. It’s a part of their local history that will never be forgotten.
