SEATTLE – Ryan Neal knew he shouldn’t have been on the field, but the Seahawks safety just couldn’t help himself. “That was just Ryan Neal being a pure dumbass, living in the moment, trying to make s— happen, knowing damn well I shouldn’t have been doing that,” Neal said with a laugh afterward. They’re corralling ball carriers in the backfield, sacking quarterbacks, swatting passes in the secondary and celebrating with the crowd in a way that makes every other defensive series feel like one big party. Carroll told Lockett he’s the “best receiver I’ve ever seen,” and it meant a lot for Lockett to hear those words in that moment. 🚀 📺 #NYGvsSEA on FOX pic.twitter.com/XRvwiWWu42 — Seattle Seahawks October 30, 2022 “It felt great,” said Lockett, who had five catches for 63 yards.
