Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin made his debut with Seattle against his former team the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, and he wasted no time showing his allegiance making a jaw-dropping one-handed catch early that gave the Seahawks a first down.

Harvin also returned a kick 58 yards to set up a Seahawks touchdown in the second quarter. Looks like one of the NFL’s best teams just got that much more dangerous.

Quarterback Russell Wilson went 13-of-18 passing for 230 yards and two touchdowns adding to the score, while running back Marshawn Lynch compiled 54 rushing yards on 17 carries and added two grabs for nine yards for the Seahawks, who have won a franchise-record 13 straight home games.

Vikings’ Adrian Peterson rushed for 65 yards on 21 carries, while Jarius Wright caught three passes for 69 yards and scored both touchdowns for the Vikings, who were coming off a 34-27 victory over Washington.

Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond put the game away in the fourth quarter after he picked off Minnesota’s quarterback Christian Ponder returning 29 yards for a touchdown and gaining a 41-20 victory over the Vikings.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
