Seahawks' Rayshawn Jenkins makes history with a 102-yard fumble recovery

It's always a good day to write positive franchise history, and that's exactly what strong safety Rayshawn Jenkins did for the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks host the New York Giants, and despite New York's overall offensive weakness, they put together a solid opening offense. After a sack on first down, the Giants initially stood at their own five-yard line. However, New York was surprisingly able to advance the ball to the Seattle goal line.

But that's where it ended. Running back Eric Gray, playing in place of the inactive Devin Singletary, lost control of the football. Jerome Baker, returning after missing Monday Night Football, forced the ball out of his hands where it was intercepted by Rayshawn Jenkins…

…who promptly returned the ball 101 yards for the first touchdown of the afternoon.
