The Seahawks' miraculous finish against the Cowboys today was the greatest comeback I've seen for quite some time. Here's how it went down.
Trailing 7-3, spinning their wheels against a tight Dallas defense, the Hawks muff a punt return with about three minutes left, giving up the ball on the 15 yard line.
They hold Dallas to a field goal.
With 2:09 left, they march down the field, Hasselbeck's laser passes complemented by a couple timely penalties. He hits Ryan Hannam (?!) in the end zone with 46 seconds left. Pandemonium erupts. But Bledsoe and the 'Boys bounce back, looking to get within field goal range.
The defense holds again.
Better yet, Jordan Babineau (?!) picks off Bledsoe and runs out of bounds at the thirty, setting up a 51-yard field goal try for Josh Brown. Five seconds left. Snap. Up, good.
Even when Shaun Alexander is completely stuffed, the Hawks will their way to a win. We finally really truly look like a Super Bowl contender.
