SEATTLE - The loudest stadium in America was silent. A return trip to the Super Bowl was slipping away.Time for the Seattle Seahawks to show why they are champions.You have the belief these guys have in one another, there is nothing you cant do, coach Pete Carroll said after an implausible comeback for a 28-22 victory over Green Bay in the NFC championship game Sunday.Plagued by turnovers and outplayed much of the day, the Seahawks staged a stunning rally built on resilience. Russell Wilson, who struggled until the final minutes, hit Jermaine Kearse for a 35-yard touchdown 3:19 into the extra period to win it.The Seahawks became the first defending champion to make the Super Bowl in 10 years, and will play the AFC champion New England Patriots, who routed Indianapolis 45-7. How Seattle got there was stunning.The will and the drive of these men is unbelievable, Wilson said. We always find a way to finish.Seattle (14-4) trailed 19-7 with about four minutes remaining and had been ineffective on offence all game. Wilson finally put a drive together with passes to Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch — initially ruled a touchdown but called back because he stepped out of bounds. Wilson finished with a 1-yard scoring run to cut the lead to 19-14 with 2:09 left.The onside kick went high to Packers tight end Brandon Bostick, but he couldnt gather it, and Seattles Chris Matthews recovered at the 50. The crowd, quiet since Seattle fell behind 16-0, came alive, and Lynch sped and powered his way to a 24-yard TD run. On the 2-point conversion, Wilson — about to be sacked — threw a desperate pass hauled in by Luke Willson to make it 22-19 with 1:25 remaining.Aaron Rodgers, limping on an injured calf, calmly led the Packers (13-5) downfield to set up Mason Crosbys fifth field goal, a 48-yarder with 14 seconds to go to force overtime.Then Wilson and Kearse struck, with Kearse — the target on all four of Wilsons interceptions — beating Tramon Williams on the winning pass. Kearse has also caught the winning score in last years conference title win over San Francisco.Just making the plays at the end and keep believing, said Wilson, who was overwhelmed and sobbing after the game. There was no doubt ... we had no doubt as a team.Kearse, who has caught touchdown passes in four straight post-season games, and several other Seahawks leaped into the stands behind the end zone, saluting the stadium-record crowd of 68,538. Wilson ran through cameramen to jump on Kearses back, and defensive end Michael Bennett borrowed a bicycle from a police officer and rode around the edge of the field saluting the 12s.Until the final minutes, there seemed to be no doubt the Packers were headed to the big game Feb. 1 in Glendale, Arizona. Despite All-Pro Rodgers injury, Green Bay and its overlooked defence was carrying the day.Its going to be a missed opportunity that Ill probably think about for the rest of my career, Rodgers said. We were the better team today, we played well enough to win. We cant blame anybody but ourselves.Special teams trickery lifted the Seahawks back into the game after falling behind 16-0. Their first touchdown came on a fake field goal when holder Jon Ryan threw 19 yards to tackle eligible Garry Gilliam in the third quarter. And Matthews onside kick recovery kept the Seahawks alive.Lynch rushed for 157 yards on 25 carries and was the one consistent offensive force Seattle had. He was crucial to both late scoring drives in regulation.And after the Packers tied it, Seattle wouldnt be denied in overtime, winning the coin toss and going 87 yards in six plays.The 16-point comeback was the largest ever in a conference title game. The Colts defeated the Patriots after trailing 21-6 in 2006.It takes everybody and everybody had to contribute to get that done, Carroll said. It was so much heart, so much belief today. Somehow, somehow we pulled it out.The matchup of Green Bays top-ranked scoring offence against the leagues stingiest defence instead was being controlled by the Packers ability to stop — and turn over — the Seahawks. The five giveaways were the most in the Carroll era that began in 2010.The silence of the fans was remarkable for much of the windy, intermittently rain day. Rookie safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had two interceptions and Green Bay sacked Wilson five times.Yet it wasnt enough.I felt our football team was a special group. Theyve been great all year, coach Mike McCarthy said. This is a hard one to swallow.Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman played much of the final quarter holding his left arm at his chest. The centre of conversation after last Januarys NFC championship win against the 49ers, he quietly left the field with his arm still pinned to his body, an NFC championship towel hanging off his right arm.Sherman said after the game about the Super Bowl: I will 100 per cent be able to play.Rodgers didnt shy away from throwing at Sherman, and in an early matchup of All-Pros, Rodgers pass to rookie Davante Adams in the end zone was snagged by Sherman.But the Pack was right back in scoring position moments later when Clinton-Dix grabbed a tipped pass and returned it 26 yards to the Seattle 4. Fullback John Kuhn, another All-Pro, had his TD dive reversed by a replay review and Seattle held. Crosby made it 3-0.Doug Baldwin fumbled the ensuing kickoff at his 23, and Crosby made a 19-yarder.It didnt get better in the first half for the hosts. Randall Cobb caught an 18-yard TD pass on the final play of the opening quarter to make it 13-0; Green Bay outgained Seattle 137-3 in the period.The Seahawks initial first down came nearly eight minutes into the second quarter.Crosby nailed a 40-yarder to conclude Green Bays dominant first half. Wilson was picked off three times, had a QB rating of 0.00, and Seattle was fortunate it didnt trail by more.Even after the fake field goal TD made it 16-7, the Seahawks didnt seem likely to pull off the comeback. Yet they did, becoming the first team since New England a decade ago to return to the Super Bowl.Im honoured to be on this team, Wilson said. Im going to the Super Bowl again.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Air Jordan Black Friday . -- Sonny Grays fastball wasnt as sharp as it usually is, and the Oakland Athletics young pitcher even had a quirky replay go against him.

Two innings later, he added another hit to up the ante. The Baltimore third baseman -- getting playing time in the place of injured Manny Machado -- went 4 for 5 with two doubles and two RBIs, and the Orioles pounded Red Sox starter John Lackey in an 8-4 victory over Boston. "As intense as these games are at this level, you do step back and watch Jon," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of his rookie third baseman. "Its fun to watch. (Hes got) a great look on his face, just a real sincere, earnest look. Hes not giddy. Thats what I like about him." Schoops four-hit night extended his hitting streak to seven games. "It feels good, especially if you win and get a W," Schoop said. "It feels really, really good." After Schoops first hit in the third inning, an infield hit to deep short, he scored on Nick Markakis double to put the Orioles up 2-0. In the sixth, he flared a ball between short and centre field, and then closed with hard-hit doubles in each of the seventh and ninth innings. Every Orioles starter had at least one hit except for Chris Davis. The Orioles collected 10 of those hits off Lackey (2-2), who surrendered six earned runs over 5 1-3 innings. It was the second straight start in which Lackey gave up six runs and failed to make it out of the sixth inning. Orioles starter Chris Tillman (2-1) laboured through five innings, throwing 122 pitches and giving up three earned runs on seven hits and four walks. He struck out five. "These guys always fight until the very end," Tillman said. "Theyre fouling pitches off, theyre taking good pitches, taking tough pitches. When you make a mistake, they capitalize on it." Markakis led off the game with a double down the left-field line. Red Sox manager John Farrell challenged the call, but it was upheld and Markakis scored on Adam Jones first hit, a ball fielded by Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts on the outfielld grass.dddddddddddd. "It looked pretty foul to me," Lackey said. "On the replay it looked like it landed foul and kicked some dirt on the line." Nelson Cruz had two RBIs for the Orioles. Boston scored its first run on Brock Holts base hit in fourth and added two more in the fifth on RBI singles from Dustin Pedroia and A.J. Pierzynski, who snapped an 0-for-15 stretch with the hit. "We had lots of chances. Unfortunately, we didnt get that hit," Pierzynski said. " We got a couple of hits and we got him (Tillman) out of there early. (We) got in the bullpen and we had more chances. Unfortunately, every time we scored it seemed like they came back and scored. Just one of those nights where things didnt work out." Tillman struck out Jackie Bradley with runners on first and second to end the Red Sox threat in the fifth. "Tilly made a big pitch there on Bradley," Showalter said. "It was a challenge for him. He deserved that." Baltimore scored two runs in the fifth on singles by Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy, and added a run in the seventh and another in the ninth on the doubles by Schoop. Darren ODay recorded the last four outs for his first save of the year. David Ortiz took a scheduled night off. Mike Carp took his place in the lineup and had two hits, as did Holt. Every Boston starter had at least one hit. The Red Sox were beneficiaries of a replay in the seventh, when it showed that Holt beat out a throw from Orioles second baseman Steve Lombardozzi for a base hit. The next three Red Sox were retired on ground balls, squandering the scoring opportunity. NOTES: Boston OF Shane Victorino will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday. Victorino has not played this season due to a strained right hamstring. ... Holt was recalled from Pawtucket earlier in the day. The Red Sox designated IF Ryan Roberts for assignment. ... RHP Bud Norris (0-1, 3.75) starts for the Orioles against LHP Felix Doubront (1-2, 6.75) on Saturday. ' ' '
