The Seattle Seahawks had arguably the best start to a playoff game in NFL history on Saturday. As the San Francisco 49ers kicked off on the opening play of the game, WR Rashid Shaheed zoomed 95 yards all the way to the endzone.

The spectacular play sent Lumen Field into a frenzy of cheers, giving the Seahawks plenty of momentum.

Seattle’s defense capitalized and got the ball back before a field goal helped them take an early 10-0 advantage.
