No big deal, really.
All Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Drew Lock had to do was to march his team 92 yards in less than two minutes to score a touchdown if he wanted to beat the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles. On Monday Night Football. By the way, Lock didn’t knew whether he would be starting over Geno Smith, who was dealing with a groin injury, until just before the game started.
Oh… and if he didn’t, the 6-7 Seahawks were probably looking at a lost season.
Lock did exactly that, though, throwing the game-winner to rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 33 seconds left on the clock.

Seattle’s 20-17 win was one of the most remarkable games of the year, and it seemed that everybody had something to say about. Including the now 10-4 Eagles, who have some things to figure out in a big hurry.
