In the first quarter, the very first play, Seahawks QB Russel Wilson fumbled the football away giving the 49ers an early possession and early lead as it was turned into a field goal. Later, the 49ers would go on to score a touchdown to take an early and somewhat surprising 10-0 lead on the road. The Seahawks would eventually pull it to within a field goal that ultimately would send the game to a halftime score of 10-3, 49ers up.
In the second half, Marshawn Lynch finally got it going as he erupted for a 40 yard touchdown run, tying the game for Seattle. This was countered by a Colin Kaepernick touchdown pass to Boldin which gave the road team, San Francisco, the lead: 17-10. After that, Seattle came alive. The Seahawks would go on and score the next 13 points that included a big turnover by Kaepernick. This made it a 23-17 game and put the ball in the hands of one of the most controversial QB's in the league, Colin Kaepernick, and his offense to try and take the lead and/or win the game with just over two minutes left and all three timeouts. So how did the game turnout?
Kaepernick drove the ball down the field before throwing a late interception, sealing the game for Seattle.
The Denver Broncos will take on the Seattle Seahawks for Super Bowl 48!
