It came in Shaheed’s fifth game with the Seahawks, who acquired him from the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 4 at the NFL’s trade deadline.
It was the first career kick return touchdown for Shaheed, who has 47 career kick returns over his four NFL seasons. He had two punt return TDs with the Saints – one in 2023 and another in 2024.
Seattle’s last kick return TD was Laviska Shenault Jr.’s 97-yarder against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6 of 2024.
