It is always a good day to make positive franchise history, and that is exactly what strong safety Rayshawn Jenkins did for the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks are hosting the New York Giants, and despite New York’s overall offensive ineptitude, they were putting together a solid opening drive. The Giants, following a sack on first down, were starting backed up on their own five-yard line. However, New York was shockingly able to move the ball all the way to Seattle’s goal line.
But that is where it concluded. Running back Eric Gray, playing in place of the inactive Devin Singletary, lost control of the football. Jerome Baker, returning after missing Monday Night Football, forced the ball out of his hands, where it was scooped up by Rayshawn Jenkins…
…who promptly returned the ball 101 yards for the first touchdown of the afternoon.
