Drew Lock threw a 29-yard go-ahead TD pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 28 seconds left in the game to cap off an epic 92-yard drive.

Lock threw for 208 yards and a touchdown in his second start with Geno Smith out.

Julian Love added two interceptions, including one to seal the game late in the fourth quarter.

The Seahawks snapped a four-game losing streak to improve to 7-7 on the season, while the Eagles lost their fourth straight fall to 10-4.
