A perfectly thrown touchdown pass on fourth-and-7 from the San Francisco 35 put the Seahawks ahead for good in the fourth quarter.
As the classy Wilson does, he gave credit to his coaches and his receiver. “Jermaine Kearse came down with a big-time catch.”
As Nancy Armour of USA Today said, “Because that’s what big-time players do, and Wilson surely has to be considered one now.
“Regardless of the outcome against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos on Feb. 2, Wilson led his team to the Super Bowl in only his second season. He might have struggled this year – and in this game – but the Seahawks don’t make their second Super Bowl without him.”
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said, “Look what he’s done. Look what he did as quarterback of this club. We’ve all done (it), but he’s been in the middle of all of it.”
