New Seattle Seahawks receiver Josh Gordon’s first catch didn’t come until the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, but it was an important one.
With the score tied at 21 apiece and just over three minutes remaining in the game, quarterback Russell Wilson connected with Gordon for a 13-yard gain on third down. The reception sustained Seattle’s drive, one that ended in a 46-yard field goal with under two minutes remaining.
Later in overtime, which the 49ers forced thanks to a 47-yard field goal from rookie Chase McLaughlin, Gordon came up clutch again on third down, this time for a 14-yard conversion.
