TOUCHDOWN MATTHEWS!!!!

 

[wildcatbd21]

And now a touchdown!!

 

[Altro Cat]

What a time to show up in the NFL. A couple more big plays and he is the MVP of this thing.

 

[southindycat]

CFL Rookie of the Year a couple years back, I believe. Wasn't he activated for the playoffs???

touchdown, Kentucky! (Seattle)

 

[Jazzycat]

He is the man right now.....wow! GO Seahawks!

 

[KYBallCoach]

HELL YES!!

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Great job Chris!

 

[FtWorthCat]

I didn't even realize he was in the NFL until this morning when I scanned the rosters.

 

[Deeeefense]

The 44 yard catch in tight coverage, then the touchdown. Dude's playing lights out.

GO CHRIS - get that MVP trophy!!!!!

 

[THE_OAK]

2 catches for 55 yards and a TD, so far he is the MVP for Seattle.

 

[Ky grandpa]

I had not been watching but turned to see what was going on and first thing I see was Matthew's first pass catch of season. So I kinda get interested a little and watch some more and see another great play by Matthew;s. wow
Way to represent BBN young man. Go Cats

 

[uk4444cats]

He recovered the onsides kick that led to the winning TD in the Green Bay game...

 

[Nubb16]

MVP of first half

 

[Glenn's take]

Throwing it up and letting him go get it was what he was good at when he was here. Cobb was doing all the underneath stuff so who knows if he can do that.

If the info on his wiki page is fact, Matthews is on Fire.

"Matthews was released by the CFL Blue Bombers in 2013. He worked in a Foot Locker store and as a security guard.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matthews_(American_football)#cite_note-surprising-1
Seattle Seahawks

On February 18, 2014, Matthews signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a 2014 reserve/future contract.
After 4 preseason games in which he caught 4 passes for 53 yards,
Seattle released him on August 30, 2014. On August 31, 2014 it was
announced that he had been signed to their practice squad.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matthews_(American_football)#cite_note-5

In the 2015 NFC Championship Game versus the Green Bay Packers, Matthews recovered a critical onside kick, which gave the Seahawks an opportunity to score and eventually win the game in overtime.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matthews_(American_football)#cite_note-surprising-1 In Super Bowl XLIX versus the New England Patriots, he had his first NFL career catch, a 44 yard pass from Russell Wilson which led to a Seahawks touchdown. He then caught a touchdown pass at the end of the first half."

WOW!

GET OFF ME

 

[77blueuk]

I can hear what Chris is going to be saying tomorrow. "Show me the money!"

 

[Glenn's take]

Timmy Smith Part 2 even though Doug Williams got the MVP that year.

 

[Jazzycat]

Another great catch by CM! Awesome!

 

[loublue22]

would it kill them to say where he went to school

 

[ukfit]

How in hades was this guy working in a FOOT LOCKER store?

UK and everybody in the SEC KNEW HE WAS A PRO BOWLER!!

Who --WHO WAS IGNORANT enough to pass on him when he went pro?

 

[TheCatDaddy]

Awesome to see Chris cash in on a display of ability rather than hype or projection.

 

[THE_OAK]

If I'm not mistaken he led the SEC in TD catches his senior season. Yet didn't even get a sniff at being drafted.

 

[Nubb16]

Matthews was awesome at UK. Never understood why a big tall physical wide receiver got passed on like he did.

 

[jte123]

UK needs to promote the checkout Matthews even thought he was only there a minute.

Go vote Matthews MVP

 

[THE_OAK]

Vote for Chris for MVP of the Super Bowl.

[jauk11]

Voted several times, but if the Seahawks probably need to score for him to win it.

And it looks like they didn't, they gambled and lost.
