Seattle Seahawks: Studs and duds vs. Ravens in Week 7
By Samuel Teets
Stud: Tyler Lockett, WR
The fifth-year wide receiver is having the best year of his career, flourishing as Wilson’s undisputed No. 1 target. Entering the Week 7 matchup, Lockett was averaging 5.8 receptions and 75.7 receiving yards per game. He didn’t match those numbers against Baltimore, but he was Seattle’s most reliable offensive threat.

Against the Ravens, Lockett was targeted seven times. He made five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. When you consider that Chris Carson carried the ball 21 times for just 65 yards, it’s easy to see that Lockett was Seattle’s best skill player this week.
Dud: Jason Myers, K
More than midway through the third quarter, the Seahawks drove into field goal range. Three yards short of a first down on Baltimore’s 35-yard line, Myers came on to attempt a 53-yard field goal attempt. That’s by no means a gimme try but the Seahawks needed all the points they could get.
Myers, who was a Pro Bowler last year, has only made eight of his 11 field goal attempts this season. After making 91.7 percent of his tries last year, his failure to produce has proven costly for Seattle. His career-long is 58 yards, and Myers made a 56-yard field goal just last season.
The game was tied at 13 when Myers attempted the field goal. However, the Ravens took over and drove down the field for an immediate score. So, the miss resulted in a significant swing in Baltimore’s direction. Everything went downhill from there.
