Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Derick Hall recovered a fumble for the first time in his NFL career on Sunday, and he turned it into his first NFL touchdown.
The former Auburn standout picked up a loose football and ran 36 yards for a touchdown as the Seahawks took a 31-14 lead over the Falcons with 12:46 to play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
Seattle outside linebacker Boye Mafe had separated Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins from the football on a sack, and Hall pounced on the ball before it could roll out of bounds.
Seattle went on to a 34-14 victory over the Falcons.
Hall is in his second NFL season after joining the Seahawks in the second round of the 2023 draft. After playing in every game as a rookie, Hall has become a starter this season. Sunday’s game was his fifth in a row in Seattle’s lineup.
