The Seattle Seahawks are not only playing amazing football leading into the playoffs, but they’re winning the hearts of their fans off the field as well.

The team went out of their way to surprise an unsuspecting fan after he ran into the girlfriend of second-string running back Robert Turbin before a November 15th game.

Turbin’s girlfriend made a deal with the fan that if she could wear his Seahawks jacket and send a picture to her boyfriend, she would reward him with something autographed from the team after the game.

Unfortunately, the fan’s phone died and nothing came of the run-in until a month later when he received a package from the team.

After three minutes of a toddler trying to cut the box open with safety scissors, the fan is brought to tears with an amazing Christmas present courtesy of the Seahawks.

What a way to celebrate Christmas! Good on you Seahawks, may the football gods bring you joy in the playoffs for your good deed.
