While the team has been optimistic about his outlook, a final report on the injury and duration of absence is still pending. Drew Lock stepped in, completing 16 of 22 passes. Andy was impressed with Lock's ability to settle down after the first two drives, executing the necessary offense to win the game at home in Seattle. He praised the conservative play-calling and decision-making on fourth downs, emphasizing that Lock executed exactly what was needed: avoiding risks, keeping the game close, and letting the defense and home crowd energize the team. Jason added that Lock's post-game comments, where he stated, "I know our team, I know the players that we have," highlighted his understanding of the team's strengths and his role in protecting the ball.
