The Seattle Seahawks' 12th man flag flies high above B.C.'s legislature in Victoria


The Seattle Seahawks are headed to their second straight Super Bowl – and all of British Columbia is behind the Pacific Northwest's only NFL team.

The team's 12th Man flag was raised high above Victoria's legislature on Thursday. "We are known as 12 North," said city councillor Chris Coleman, three days ahead of the big game.

The Seahawks will look to defend their only NFL championship on Sunday against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

"I'm hoping that it's gonna be the Hawks by 10, because I think (their) fairly dominant defence will show up in a fairly dominant way," said Coleman.
