Seahawks defense and special teams carries team back to the Super Bowl.

Seattle - The Seattle Seahawks are headed back to the Super Bowl. Even with an offense that was shaky all day, the defense forced some key turnovers that were able to be turned into points, and the special teams provided some big time help in the return game to carry the Seahawks past the Minnesota Vikings 31-13. Adrian Peterson did get his racking up 142 yards rushing, but his fumble in the second quarter set the Hawks up for a field goal and a 10-3 lead. The Vikings followed that with a three and out, and then Josh Cribbs shot some electricity into the CLink, as he took the ensuing punt all the way back for a touchdown that seized all the momentum for the Seahawks, and they never looked back. Marshawn Lynch was able to get going even against the Number one run defense all regular season as he nearly matched AP with 136 yards of his own. Now the Seahawks run is nearly complete as they head to Super Bowl forty-nine, to take on the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills, who are on a story book type run of their own. The Seahawks will be looking to make the third trip a charm, and erase the demons of last years defeat to the New England Patriots.
