It’s January 19th, 2014. We’re in Seattle, Washington, for the NFC Championship game between the hometown Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have the ball, down six, and are 18 yards away from taking the lead. Clock ticking towards 30 seconds, Seattle is looking to keep them out of the endzone and punch their own ticket to the Super Bowl.

To appreciate what comes next and remember the hate-filled journey that got us here, we should rewind.
