Barner has no defender lined up directly across from him at the line of scrimmage. Lock recognizes that before the snap and, once he sees the linebacker drop into coverage and Barner begin his route, he pulls the trigger. The throw gives the tight end an opportunity to make the catch and score his first receiving touchdown. It's good to see Seattle making better use of its tight ends in the red zone!

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Barner scoring first receiving TD; Seattle improving tight end red zone usage.

Barner (tight end) is being used more effectively in the red zone; Lock recognizes him before the snap when he has no defender lined up directly across from him at the line of scrimmage. Once the linebacker drops into coverage and Barner begins his route, Lock pulls the trigger, giving the tight end an opportunity to make the catch and score his first receiving touchdown. Seattle is making better use of its tight ends in the red zone.
