Rashid Shaheed of the Seahawks returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown in Saturday night's playoff game. The play occurred 13 seconds into the game, resulting in an immediate 7-0 lead for the Seahawks.During the return, 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro attempted to trip Shaheed, which led to a penalty enforced on the extra point.
The Seahawks acquired Shaheed from the Saints on November 4 in exchange for fourth- and fifth-round draft picks. Shaheed had previously recorded a punt return touchdown and a kickoff return touchdown for Seattle during the regular season. This event marked his first playoff touchdown.
