Fans will be forgiven if they didn’t notice Tyler Lockett’s milestone catch in the fourth quarter on Sunday night against the Arizona Cardinals.
In fact, fans can’t be blamed for not noticing Lockett at all on Sunday, as the 12-yard reception was his only catch of the game, which resulted in a disappointing 27-13 loss.
However, Lockett’s catch took him from 994 receiving yards on the year to 1,006 yards, giving him the first 1,000 yard season of his career and the 23rd in Seahawks franchise history.
Lockett joins seven other receivers; Steve Largent, Joey Galloway, Doug Baldwin, Darrell Jackson, Brian Blades, Koren Robinson and Bobby Engram, who have crossed 1,000 yards in a single-season while with the Seahawks.
Lockett reset his career-high of 965 yards, set in 2018, during the team’s Week 15 win over Carolina. Now, he joins the elusive 1,000 yard club – and while it didn’t come in a particularly impressive performance, it is a testament to how important he has been to this Seattle offense in 2019.
The Seahawks will no doubt need Lockett on his A-game next Sunday, when they take on the 49ers in Seattle without Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise, who will both be out for the rest of the season.
