What a way to kickoff the 2011 NFL Playoffs in Seattle! A highly underdog Seahawks team, who came into the wild card playoffs with the worst record a team has ever had in the playoffs, having to face the high favored defending champions New Orleans Saints! With the Saints trailing late in the fourth quarter by 5, all the defense needed to do was stop the Seattle Seahawks in order to give Drew Brees another chance for a comeback game winning drive. However, with about 3:38 left in the fourth quarter on 2nd and 10 on Seattle's 33, the Seahawks intentions were to just hand the ball off and try running down the clock. Matt Hasselback snapped the ball handing it off to Marshawn Lynch, and with the Saints defense rushing to bring Lynch down, Lynch broke half a dozen tackles and ran a 67-yard touchdown to put the nail in the coffin. The defending champions New Orleans Saints are no longer in the running for a 2 peat. What a crazy upset finish!
