we addressed the media on June 14, having just spoken with Mii

RENTON, Wash. - Jermaine Kearse was having an NFC championship game to forget.The first two times Kearse even got his fingers on a pass from Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, the ball ended up in the hands of a Green Bay defensive back. Those two deflected interceptions were sandwiched around two other attempted passes from Wilson to Kearse that were also picked off.Four targets. Four interceptions. Four miserable moments for Kearse and the Seahawks.I just told myself not to feel sorry for myself, to keep pushing through, Kearse said. Things arent always going to be perfect, things arent always going to go your way, but it tells a lot about a persons character on how they respond when things arent going well. Things are easy when things are going well, but how do you respond when theyre not?Kearses response was a moment that will be remembered in Seattle Seahawks history in the same regard as Richard Shermans deflection in the NFC championship game against San Francisco a year earlier. In the same end zone as Shermans play, Kearse caught Wilsons 35-yard TD toss 3:19 into overtime to send Seattle to its second straight Super Bowl.Wilson noticed Green Bay with all of its defenders near the line of scrimmage and no safety covering the middle of the field. He made a check with Kearse, who also noticed the coverage. Kearses job was simply to beat cornerback Tramon Williams to the inside, keep position to the post and wait for Wilsons pass to arrive.Ive seen him make so many plays before. When you see a guy that makes so many plays in practice, so many plays throughout big-time games, NFC championship game last year ... Doug Baldwin, too, you just continue to trust those guys, Wilson said. They show me every day in practice and so when somebody messes up or I mess up or dont throw the ball right, whatever happens, Im just going to keep coming back to them.That was the first thing I told Kearse after that last interception. I said, Hey, were going to win this game. Im going to keep coming back to you and were going to find a way to win the game. Thats what we were able to do.Two of the four interceptions that were intended for Kearse were Wilsons fault. He underthrew Kearse on a deep pass into double coverage early in the second quarter and later was short with a throw to the front corner of the end zone. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he believed Wilson misjudged the wind on both of the underthrown passes.But the other two interceptions hit Kearse in the hands. The most costly — it appeared — was the pass that was deflected to Green Bay safety Morgan Burnett with 5:04 left and Green Bay holding a 19-7 lead. Kearse couldnt even get to all the negative reactions on Twitter from the first four quarters. There was too much praise for his one catch of the day.I couldnt even get to the bad stuff, Kearse said. I dont worry about all that stuff — it just comes down to us as a team.Kearse is riding an impressive post-season streak. He caught what eventually became the winning points in last years NFC title game against San Francisco, on a 35-yard TD in traffic on fourth down.In the Super Bowl, Kearse bounced off Denver defenders like a pinball for a 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter of Seattles blowout coronation.And in the divisional round win over Carolina this year, Kearse had a career-high in yards. Kearse had three receptions for 129 yards against the Panthers, including a one-handed grab on his 63-yard touchdown catch.But the importance of his catch Sunday boosts that to the top of special post-season moments for Kearse — even if he sent the ball flying into the stands.That throw was more so a sign of frustration. Just letting (out) a lot of frustration throughout that whole game, Kearse said. I tried to throw it as far as possible.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Rob Blake Jersey .
