Well, he certainly saw a lot of information about Lockdown on Friday night – a bit too much.
Lock went 13 goals 24 in 171 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the Seahawks’ 27-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
Smith started the game and dribbled 3/6 for 43 yards while leading a scoring header.
