Fans of both the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers football teams react differently to the game ending interception that sent the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. The January 19, 2014 NFC Championship game pitted the two rival teams against each other at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. Trailing by 4 points with only minutes to go, 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick came within a hair of completing a pass to Michael Crabtree in the back of the endzone, only to have Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman knock the ball away and into the arms of another Seattle player who intercepted the pass. The game would end 28-24 with the Seahawks eventually going on to easily win Super Bowl XLVIII.
