Drew Lock Leading Seahawks' Game-Winning Drive vs. Eagles Left NFL World Stunned
The Seahawks stunned the Eagles on Monday night, handing Philadelphia its third straight loss after Drew Lock pioneered a miraculous go-ahead drive during the final minutes of the game.
Lock marched Seattle’s offense downfield 92 yards, courtesy of a pair of sensational catches from DK Metcalf, before finding rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.
After being held to just three points in the first half, the resilient Seahawks rallied around their backup quarterback, who kept his composure in crunch time with the game on the line.
A jaw-dropping interception from Julian Love closed the door on a last-second Eagles comeback, capping off the incredible victory for Seattle.

Lock, who was making just his second start of the season in place of the injured Geno Smith, rose to the occasion during prime time. NFL fans could barely believe it, rushing to social media to celebrate the improbable win.
Honestly, I’m so happy for Drew Lock right now.

It doesn’t exist a lot in the NFL at QB.
Even top QBs have confidence issues.
Drew Lock always thinks he’s gonna win. Always thinks he’s the best QB on the field.
