Lock’s late touchdown pass Seahawks to 20-17 victory vs Eagles

In a stunning Monday night turnaround, Drew Lock orchestrated a 92-yard drive, culminating in a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 28 seconds remaining, as the Seattle Seahawks pulled off a 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. This victory snapped Seattle’s four-game losing streak and propelled them back into contention for an NFC playoff spot.

The Seahawks, standing at 7-7, witnessed a comeback led by their backup quarterback, Lock. He orchestrated the team’s longest touchdown drive of the season, showcasing resilience and precision. The game-winning play unfolded on a crucial third-and-10, where Smith-Njigba outpaced James Bradberry, and Lock delivered a perfect throw, sealing the unlikely comeback from an initial 10-0 deficit. Lock, filling in for the injured Geno Smith for the second consecutive start, demonstrated his connection with rookie first-round pick DK Metcalf, making key plays, including significant gains of 18 and 34 yards.
