A thrilling, but heartbreaking 28-22 loss in Seattle ended the Green Bay Packers' 2014-15 season. We take you inside the locker room and show you some of the things players had to say after coming up short just one game of the Super Bowl.
Tight end Brandon Bostick explained what his role was supposed to be on the onside kick:
Brandon Bostick said he was supposed to block on onside kick. It was not his job to go after football. #Packers TE was obviously devastated.

#Packers TE Brandon Bostick: "I felt I had my hands on the ball, and it slipped away, I guess. I just got hit, and din't have the ball."

The Packers were given many opportunities in today's game, especially after they forced five Seattle turnovers.

A common theme afterwards was that the team let the game blow up in their face:
Tramon Williams: We squandered away every opportunity there was to put that game away and there is no excuse for it.

#Packers WR Randall Cobb: "We gave it away. We had opportunities. We didn't make plays when we needed to."

Micah Hyde: We let it go. That’s all I can say right now. You can’t put it into words. We let it go

Thoughts from T.J. Lang on the last few minutes of the game:
Lang: Five minutes to go, there was nobody on our sideline who thought we were going to lose that game.
