Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson overcame a rough start in Sunday's NFC Championship victory over the 49ers.

WIlson was stripped and lost a fumble on the opening play of the game, which led to a San Francisco field goal. However, he came up big in the fourth quarter, as he threw a touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse, which gave the lead back to Seattle with 13:52 remaining in the game.

Aldon Smith jumped offside on a 4th-and-7, which gave WIlson a free play, and Wilson hooked up with Kearse, who made a leaping catch over Carlos Rogers in the end zone. It was Wilson's only touchdown pass of the night.

Wilson completed 16 of 25 passes for 215 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions. He was sacked four times and had five carries for no yards in a 23-17 win. Seattle will travel to MetLife Stadium for a clash against the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
