Russell Wilson caught a pass from receiver Jermaine Kearse in the first quarter of the Seahawks Super Bowl rematch with the Broncos. On first-and-ten from the Denver 23, Wilson faked a handoff to Marshawn Lynch and then flipped the ball to Kearse, who was curling around the play. Wilson then went down the near sideline for a 17-yard catch to the Denver seven. There's been a lot of this going on today.

Earlier in the day two Ohio quarterbacks also caught passes, one of them actually went for a touchdown. We already showed you Johnny Manziel's genius catch that almost caught the Ravens snoozing, but his intra-state counterpart Andy Dalton also caught a pass, and took it in for a touchdown.

On the last play of the first quarter in Cincinnati, Dalton pitched the ball to Mohamed Sanu, who ran to the near sideline with the ball. As everyone followed Sanu, Dalton leaked out to the far sideline and waited for Sanu to throw it back his way. He avoided one hit and raced to the pylon, diving into the end zone for the score.The old saw is that the NFL is a copycat league but it usually takes weeks, not hours, for it to happen.
