The Seahawks were in desperate need of a spark in the third quarter. The San Francisco 49ers took the opening drive of the half all the way down for a touchdown to extend their lead to 23-3. It was officially starting to feel like it was getting late, early, for the Seahawks.
Special teams, which have otherwise been horrid to start the year, decided they wanted some redemption. Specifically Laviska Shenault Jr., who fumbled on a kick off earlier in the game. Well, Shenault more than made up for his error with this explosive return.

This is the first kick off return touchdown scored by the Seahawks since the 2021 season. Seattle was hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars, and took care of business. The Seahawks were leading 24-0 going into the fourth quarter, and the Jaguars scored a garbage time touchdown. On the ensuing onside kick attempt, running back Travis Homer recovered the ball and took it 44-yards for a touchdown to put the final emphasis on the game.
At the time of this article’s publication, the Seahawks trail the 49ers 23-10 midway through the third quarter. Be sure to follow @TheSeahawksWire and @KoleMusgrove23 on Twitter for more updates.
