The Seahawks bring in quarterback Drew Lock to replace injured starter Sam Darnold in their opener. One report notes that Lock had been in a backup role since the Seahawks acquired him during the Russell Wilson trade, but he steps into the game after Darnold is sidelined.
Both outlets describe Lock’s background and performance record as context for the change. The Athletic says Lock enters with a career starter record of 10-18 and has thrown 34 touchdown passes against 28 interceptions. This information is presented as part of what fans should know about the backup now seeing action, reflecting his prior experience and statistical profile rather than any new performance assessment in the current game.
The difference in coverage is mainly focus: one outlet emphasizes the immediate trigger and his role shift for the opener, while the other centers on Lock’s career numbers leading up to his appearance.
