Rashid Shaheed has his best game as a Seahawks on Sunday, catching four passes and returning a kick 100 yards for a touchdown, a play head coach Mike Macdonald predicted before it happened.

Seattle won 30-24, led by two touchdowns receptions by Jaxon Smith-Njigba and 244 passing yards from Sam Darnold. The Seahawks had a 30-10 lead with 6:40 left in the third quarter after Zach Charbonnet's 5-yard touchdown run.

Coach Mike Macdonald predicted Seattle Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed's 100-yard kickoff return score at Atlanta Falcons. Sort of. From Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
