SEATTLE -- After falling behind by 20 points midway through the third quarter, the Seattle Seahawks needed a quick answer to keep the San Francisco 49ers within reach.
Laviska Shenault Jr. provided the quickest answer possible.
Shenault's 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown cut the 49ers' lead to 23-10 and breathed life into a Lumen Field crowd that was sensing another blowout loss to San Francisco. That atoned for Shenault's earlier fumble on a kickoff return, which led to a 49ers field goal.
According to ESPN Research, Shenault joined former Seahawk DeeJay Dallas -- now with the Arizona Cardinals -- as the only players to return a kickoff for a touchdown since the NFL overhauled the play to begin the season.
