Lock's tunnel vision on JSN cost him a potential Shaheed touchdown.
Lock got locked onto JSN on one play and missed a much better opportunity to make a big play by working back to Rashid Shaheed; the source notes this is the type of progression and field-reading detail that will be worth monitoring as Lock gets more reps as the starter, as it won't necessarily show up as a major mistake in the box score but represents a missed opportunity.
Lock's 113.3 rating shows solid game management in emergency starter role.
Lock finished 16-of-22 for 187 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, posting a 113.3 passer rating with 13 rushing yards including a 14-yard scramble; the source notes these aren't superstar numbers but Lock protected the football, made available throws, and avoided turning a difficult situation into an impossible one after entering unexpectedly as the starter.

Lock's 16-of-22, 187 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 113.3 rating showed solid game management.
Emergency starter completed 16-of-22 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, posting a 113.3 passer rating, plus 13 rushing yards including a 14-yard scramble. The source notes Lock was cautious early, taking checkdowns and not consistently pushing the ball downfield, but he didn't panic. He protected the football, made the throws available, and delivered when Seattle needed a big play. The most important thing Lock did was avoid turning a difficult situation into an impossible one.

Lock gets full week prep as starter; execution critical for Seattle.
Lock gets the full week of preparation as Seattle's starter against Arizona, a much better setup than Week 1, but the offense's ability to execute without putting the defense in impossible situations remains a key question as Seattle navigates a critical stretch of games.
Lock gets full week prep after Week 1 emergency start; must prove he can beat man coverage.
Lock enters Week 2 with a full week of starting preparation after being thrust into the game mid-play in Week 1. Against New England, he completed 16-of-22 for 187 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions plus 13 rushing yards, settling down after an initially uncomfortable start to lead two fourth-quarter scoring drives. The source emphasizes that the key test is whether Lock can perform against man coverage when Arizona takes away his first read, particularly on third downs and in the red zone, requiring him to identify leverage pre-snap, recognize true man versus zone structures, and deliver on time when receivers win immediately.
Lock gets full week prep as starter; must avoid burdening defense.
Drew Lock elevated to Seahawks starter for Week 2 against Arizona with full week of preparation, a significant improvement over his Week 1 emergency role where he had to adjust on the fly. However, the source notes this setup does not change the importance of the matchup; Seattle faces a critical stretch where they cannot afford losses while Darnold recovers, and Lock's ability to avoid putting the defense in impossible situations will be key to the team's success.
Lock gets full-week prep for Week 2 start; must prove man-coverage competence beyond Week 1 emergency relief.
Lock enters Week 2 with a full week of starting preparation, a significant upgrade from his Week 1 emergency entry. He finished 16-of-22 for 187 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions against New England after entering mid-game, adding 13 rushing yards. However, his performance against man coverage was concerning: 3-of-8 for 35 yards. The source emphasizes that Lock must prove his Week 1 comeback wasn't a product of favorable defensive circumstances by identifying leverage pre-snap, recognizing true man versus zone structures, and delivering on time when receivers win immediately. Arizona will likely employ man coverage to counter Jaxon Smith-Njigba's eight-catch, 122-yard Week 1 performance, particularly on third downs and in the red zone.
