After Russell Wilson threw an interception with 5:04 left in the NFC Championship on Sunday, the Seahawks chances of winning weren't good. As a matter of fact, they were horrible. 

According to the win probability graph from ProFootballReference.com, the Seahawks only had a .70 percent chance of winning the game after Wilson's pick -- that's less than one percent.

Believe it or not though, things actually got worse after that. Seattle's chances of winning fell to .10 percent at the 3:07 mark after Wilson threw an incomplete pass to Jermaine Kearse.

At that point, the Seahawks were trailing 19-7 and were facing a second-and-10 from Green Bay's 35-yard line. If Packers fans were confident, it's because there win probability was literally 99.9 percent -- as you can see below. 

For the Seahawks fans WHO DIDN'T LEAVE THE GAME EARLY, that .10 percent win probability represented all the reason they needed to stay. 

Sticking around for the end of the game clearly paid off. 

Russell Wilson's 1-yard touchdown upped the Seahawks win probability to 24.8 percent. After Marshawn Lynch's touchdown with 1:25 left and the Seahawks ensuing 2-point conversion, the Seahawks win probability shot up to 91.2 percent. That's a 91.1 percent improvement in less than two minutes. 

Don't you love math?

Anyway, Seattle's win probability went up to 100 percent after Wilson did this in overtime.
