Trailing 16-0 and facing fourth down on a must-convert drive, the Seattle Seahawks lined up for a field goal with just under five minutes left in the third quarter. Then all hell broke loose.

Seattle holder, punter John Ryan, received the snap and immediately pulled up and sprinted to his left before lofting a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie lineman Garry Gilliam.

Gilliam's first career reception (and touchdown) might be the biggest catch of the Seahawks' season. Green Bay still leads 16-7 late in the third quarter.
