It was a big night for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. against the Minnesota Vikings. With Seattle trailing 10-0 late in the first half, the Seahawks needed points in a big way.
Fortunately for the 12th Man, the former Washington State Cougar is used to scoring touchdowns in the Evergreen State. Quarterback Drew Lock found Winston Jr. for a 12-yard touchdown strike on 3rd-and-7 to give Seattle their first points of the night.
Not only were they the first points, but they gave the Seahawks their first genuine highlight of the year. So what is going to happen to the ball? Well, Winston Jr. has a rather simple and wholesome answer.

With wide receiver Dee Eskridge serving a six-game suspension to start the year, there is an opening at this position group. Here’s hoping Winston Jr. will have more touchdowns to gift his mother.
