On a day when the Seattle Seahawks’ offense was sputtering, Rashid Shaheed provided a major spark on special teams.

Shaheed returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a 100-yard touchdown, giving Seattle a 13-6 lead over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

It came in Shaheed’s fifth game with the Seahawks, who acquired him from the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 4 at the NFL’s trade deadline.

It was the first career kick return touchdown for Shaheed, who has 47 career kick returns over his four NFL seasons. He had two punt return TDs with the Saints – one in 2023 and another in 2024.

Seattle’s last kick return TD was Laviska Shenault Jr.’s 97-yarder against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6 of 2024.
