Doug Baldwin Used His Butt To Bring In This Impossible Catch

The Seattle Seahawks spent Saturday night embarrassing the Detroit Lions en route to a 26-6 win in their NFC Wild Card game. Seattle won behind a stout performance on defense, a solid running game headed up by Thomas Rawls, and some absurd catches that (literally) turned heads.

Paul Richardson’s touchdown grab was unreal, even if there was a missed penalty. Maybe even crazier was this catch by Doug Baldwin, who used his butt to bring in a pass from Russell Wilson. It was so good that the refs actually called it an incompletion, but after Baldwin told Pete Carroll it was a catch, the Seahawks’ coach threw the challenge flag and won. It was a ridiculous grab, but unfortunately for Baldwin, it was only the second-best catch by a Seahawks receiver on the night.

While his next catch wasn’t as impressive, it was just as fun, as Baldwin took a touchdown away from one of his teammates. Wilson lobbed a ball towards Jermaine Kearse, who thought he had an easy score. That’s when Baldwin snuck in and grabbed the pass with one hand for six.

The best part is Cris Collinsworth laughing at Baldwin for “stealing” this one from his teammate. It was going to be a dime by Wilson to his receiver no matter what, it just ended up being a perfectly placed ball that Baldwin reeled in instead of Kearse.
