Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin made an incredible one-handed catch to keep his team’s drive alive.
In the first half of the NFC Wild Card game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings, the Seahawks had a hard time converting on third down.
They made it a point to start the second half of the game by converting third downs. Facing a big third-down situation early in the third quarter, the Seahawks converted their biggest third down of the game, when Doug Baldwin made a leaping one-handed catch.
With Russell Wilson putting the ball up high in only a place that Baldwin could get it, Baldwin got enough extension that he was able to snag it.
With subzero temperatures making it much harder physically on players, it’s an incredible play by Baldwin, as he continues to separate himself as one of the superstar wide receivers in football.
The key to the Seahawks’ turnaround this season has been a connection between Wilson and Baldwin, and it’s plays like this that have keyed their turnaround each week.
Minnesota thought they had Seattle stopped on third down, but Baldwin had other plans, as he made one of the best catches early in the playoffs thus far.
