Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed Breaks Free for 28-Yard Rushing Score on Trick Play

In a Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed found the end zone on a 28-yard rushing play after lining up in the backfield as a running back.

The touchdown came on a well-designed running back toss. Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury drew up the play, which was executed perfectly. The Seahawks had just picked up a first down on a run up the middle by running back Emanuel Wilson, prompting the Chargers' defense to anticipate a pass. Instead, Shaheed took the toss and sprinted untouched down the sideline for the score.

Adding to the highlight, fellow receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba delivered a punishing block, pancaking Chargers veteran safety Tony Jefferson. Such a block is rarely seen even in video games, and it raises the question: how many recent NFL Offensive Player of the Year winners have blocked like that?
