On a night when the Seahawks pushed revealing their starting quarterback to the brink, Drew Lock came back from one to shock the Eagles.<\/p>\n

Having never held a lead and trailing Philadelphia, 17-13, with 1:52 remaining, Lock ran a flawless two-minute drive, throwing on every snap of a 10-play march that went 92 yards for the game-winning score.<\/p>\n

“Amazing won’t do it justice,” Lock told ESPN’s Lisa Salters directly after the game about orchestrating the drive. “But amazing also doesn’t do justice what the O-line, what DK (Metcalf) did on that catch, what the receivers did, what Ken Walker, Zach Charbonnet, all game long. The tight ends. It takes a special group to rally around a guy that’s coming into his second game of the year, right? Used to the same thing all year long. Same cadence. Same spin on the ball. Everything. A team like that — not just the offense — the defense to rally around me tonight. That was amazing.”<\/p>\n

More amazing still is the flip Lock switched after a somewhat dim performance for the previous 58 minutes. Going into that narrative-turning drive, Lock was accurate, with a 73.9 completion percentage, but it had resulted in just 116 passing yards, and running back Kenneth Walker turning potential losses into big gains had been Seattle’s best hope for production.<\/p>\n

And before that, it wasn’t even clear Lock would have a second chance to score his first win in three years at all.<\/p>\n

Geno Smith, who missed last week with a groin injury, was still ailing, but the team surprisingly declared him healthy enough to dress.<\/p>\n

The question over whether the season-long QB1 would serve as Seattle’s Week 15 QB1 — rather than an emergency option — lingered until roughly 15 minutes before kickoff.<\/p>\n

“Oh, there’s a long story going into that one,” Lock said about the QB decision. “But I kept the mentality that I was going to play. Regardless of what was going on, how people were looking and what not. I was just like, ‘You know what, you’re going to go out there and play. So be ready to play.’ Found out when we got here that I was going to get the nod. Roll the dice, baby. Let’s go.”<\/p>\n
