The Seattle Seahawks scored 31 points throughout a massive second half to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 37-9 in Week 14. Kickstarting that second-half scoring output was a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown by Rashid Shaheed to start the third quarter. Shaheed enjoyed his breakout performance as a Seahawk.

Sam Darnold and Seattle's offense didn't get off to the start it wanted on Sunday, though the Seahawks quarterback certainly rounded into form in the second half.

Seattle’s defense hasn’t been fully healthy as a whole unit all season, until Sunday as they kept Atlanta out of the endzone for the entire game.

Seahawks the lead for good when he returned the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a score - and his head coach called it.

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.

After a quiet first half for Sam Darnold who went nine of 15 for 67 yards, he and the offense found their spark and on this scoring drive, four different pass catchers had a reception. The very first play of the drive was a one-yard run by Kenneth Walker III.

The Seahawks had five takeaways against the Vikings and three against the Falcons. They have three defensive touchdowns and 21 total takeaways on the season. Seahawks rookie Nick Emmanwori, who had the best game of his career thus far on Sunday, isn't shying away from bold claims about the dominant unit.
