SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks didn’t do much on either side of the ball in the first half of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night at Lumen Field, but they rectified that with 10:03 left in the third quarter. An offense that had been too static in the game’s first 35 minutes changed a bunch of things up with two tight ends in the backfield, and quarterback Drew Lock handing off to running back Kenneth Walker.
As Walker shimmied through Philly’s defenders, Lock got upfield and made a nice block on cornerback Eli Ricks at the end of the 23-yard run, which tied the game at 10-10. Lock was starting for the second straight week in place of Geno Smith, who’s dealing with a groin injury.

The question for Ricks is, what’s the penalty for getting erased by a quarterback?
Eli Ricks got blocked by a quarterback and now has to take a lap. I don't make the rules, people. https://t.co/WxIn7NqfCA
