After not playing in the 2022 regular season, Lock appeared in four games for Seattle in 2023, starting two, and completed 63.2 percent of his passes for 543 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Lock’s finest moment in a Seahawks uniform came on Monday night against the Eagles in which he led a game-winning touchdown drive, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the winning score to cap a 10-play, 92-yard drive in the game’s final minutes.
“That’s way up there,” Lock said when asked where that game ranks in career memories. “That might be top two, and probably not two. What a night that was. Having my family there, Layton was in her belly still, my dad was there, mom, sister, they all came up that week, which was really cool.

He’s tough to play against. Being on the offensive side of the ball, having a defensive head coach, having a guy that’s going to have that defense ready—from a quarterback’s standpoint, we’re going to have the offense ready—but it’s nice having a defensive head coach that’s going to have that defense ready to play every Sunday.
“And with them hiring (offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak) too, I’m familiar with what Klint does, and the type of stuff that he runs. It’s a familiar style that I feel like I’ve played good football in.”
Another big change was made at Lock’s position, with Geno Smith being traded to Las Vegas, followed by the Seahawks signing Sam Darnold, with whom Lock has had a friendship dating back to when they were two of the top…
