While stepping into the starting role in lieu of Sam Darnold, Drew Lock strengthened the notion as Missouri being a prominent program for backup quarterbacks. The former Tigers star made his first start of the season and guided the defending-champion Seahawks to a 2-0 start. Lock threw for a season-high 235 yards on 19-for-26 passing in a 31-7 win over the Cardinals. The Lee’s Summit (Mo.) product notched three touchdowns, including an 82-yard deep ball to the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
