Not Available Lead

Tyler Lockett made one of the most impressive one-handed catches you’ll ever see Saturday. It’s not impressive because the ball stuck to his hand like Odell Beckham’s grab, though. It’s impressive because he caught the ball with one hand and held onto it while his leg was breaking under him.

Warning: the video below, as you would expect, is graphic.

Lockett is out for the rest of the season following the devastating injury. The speedy receiver, 24, had 39 catches for 559 yards this season.

Pete Carroll confirms leg surgery for WR Tyler Lockett, out for the year. Lead RB Thomas Rawls' shoulder is bruised--at least. #Seahawks

Seattle was already missing star safety Earl Thomas, and as you see above, Thomas Rawls got roughed up, too. The “wyd” text to Marshawn Lynch should be on its way at about 2 a.m.

The Seahawks (9-5-1) were down 14-3 at the half, but came back to lead in the fourth quarter. A wild finish, including a perfectly executed long ball from Carson Palmer to David Johnson on the game’s final drive, led to a 34-31 win for Arizona. With the loss, the Seahawks fell out of second place in the NFC; Atlanta is now projected to hold that spot.
