Week 13 of the 2019 NFL season featured some rather notable highlights on special teams. The Seattle Seahawks decided to get into the act versus the Minnesota Vikings.
Seattle pulled off a well-designed fake punt that resulted in a 29-yard gain by running back Travis Homer, via NFL Twitter:

The play could not have come at a more crucial time for Seattle after just giving up a touchdown to Minnesota in less than a minute. They successfully managed to secure a comfortable lead with their stellar start to the second half and it is clear they did not want to let that momentum go by keeping their offense off the field.
Unfortunately, the Seahawks' offense was not able to take advantage after a fumble by wide receiver D.K. Metcalf just three plays later. Although their successful trick play did not net much in return, it will still serve as a high point for this special teams.
