Seahawks’ Doug Baldwin makes ‘butt catch’ and steals TD from teammate Jermaine Kearse in playoff win vs. Lions

Receiver Doug Baldwin had an eventful stretch during the final few minutes of the Seahawks’ 26-6 playoff victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night at CenturyLink Field.

First Baldwin made an incredible catch, trapping the ball against his backside for a first down. Two plays later he caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson, appearing to steal a pass that seemed intended from teammate Jermaine Kearse.

On the first play the Seahawks had the ball on third-and-9 at Detroit’s 24-yard line. Wilson took the snap in the shotgun formation and threw to Baldwin on the right side of the field.
