Doug Baldwin channels Steve Smith to keep climbing up Seahawks’ post-season receiving record book

On Saturday night, Doug Baldwin became unquestionably the greatest post-season receiver in Seahawks history.

In catching 11 passes for 104 yards, Baldwin became the franchise’s career leader in post-season receptions with 49 while also becoming the first Seahawk to record three 100-yard-plus games in the playoffs.

He also added to a couple post-season records he already held — 11 straight playoff games with a catch and increasing his record in receiving yards to 622.

On the night before he further rewrote the record books Baldwin had a long text conversation with the player who may be his inspiration — longtime NFL receiver Steve Smith, who earlier in the week had officially announced his retirement.
