The Seattle Seahawks extended their lead over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday thanks to a terrific trick play that featured a Doug Baldwin pass to none other than quarterback Russell Wilson in the end zone. 

That's right: Wilson caught a touchdown pass on a throw from his favorite wide receiver. 

On the play, Wilson first pitched the ball to Baldwin on what looked like a reverse toward the right side of the end zone. Wilson, though, made his way toward the left edge of the field and instead of running, Baldwin stopped, pivoted, threw a perfect ball right into Wilson's hands.

Wilson fell into the end zone for the score.
