The Seahawks looked like they were toast. Trailing Philadelphia by four points with 92 yards to go and two minutes to play, their chances of winning the game and salvaging their season seemed like they were about to vanish. And then Drew Lock, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaxon-Smith Njigba put together an incredible game-winning drive, secured by sensational second clutch interception from safety Julian Love.
The upset victory did more than just keep their playoff hopes alive, it galvanized the team in a way that they haven’t been all season. Don’t believe me? Just watch what an emotional Lock and his teammates had to say to the media after the game.
Drew Lock on a drive he'll remember the rest of his life
"I'll remember that play call for the rest of my life."
An unforgettable night for @DrewLock23.
