Doug Baldwin steals TD from Jermaine Kearse (Video)
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin stole a touchdown pass intended for teammate Jermaine Kearse in epic fashion.
Doug Baldwin makes a living making the tough catch for the Seattle Seahawks. By virtue of being Russell Wilson’s favorite target, Baldwin can catch the ball wherever it is placed for him. He can even catches passes that aren’t intended for him as well.
With the Seahawks leading the Detroit Lions late in the NFC Wild Card Round on Saturday night, Baldwin capped off a big night and a win with one of the more unusual touchdowns. As Wilson dropped back to pass, it looked like he had Jermaine Kearse wide open for a touchdown.

It turns out Baldwin was also in the same area and he went and grabbed away the touchdown from his teammate. There was no ill will on the part of Baldwin as it appeared that he ran the same route as well.
You can’t be mad at your teammate for taking a catch from you so long as he makes the score. Baldwin was making crazy catches throughout that drive and that might not have even been his best one.
With the Seahawks looking to pick up a third down, Baldwin managed to catch a bobbling ball against his leg while falling down. Therefore it’s only fitting, he made another strange catch en route to a touchdown.
