The Seahawks may not have hit bottom yet, but after losing five of their last six games they are certainly circling the drain. Sunday’s 28-16 loss to the 49ers was a devastating blow for their rapidly-dwindling chances of making the playoffs this year.
After the game, we heard from head coach Pete Carroll and several players, including Drew Lock, Tyler Lockett, Bobby Wagner and DK Metcalf. Here’s what they had to say in the locker room.

Pete Carroll on big plays allowed
Pete Carroll lamented all the big plays the Seahawks allowed to San Francisco, and seemed particularly miffed at how they had prepared for everything the 49ers threw at them.

Drew Lock evaluates his performance
Assessing his first start in almost two years, Drew Lock said his ball placement was off on his first INT (he was hit on the second INT). He was happy with how he used his legs and appreciative of how Shane Waldron called the game. His takeaway? “That I can still play football.” pic.twitter.com/uQI55sHhh2
