Lock came in cold in Week 1 and did just enough to help the Seahawks win, settling down after a few shaky patches. Then he came out guns blazing in Week 2, throwing for three TDs. Would you believe that Lock leads the NFL in passer rating through two games? He entered the season completing fewer than 60% of his career passes but is sitting at 72.7% in 2026.

Lock leads NFL in passer rating through two weeks; could earn starting role elsewhere.

Came in cold in Week 1 and did just enough to help the Seahawks win, then threw for three TDs in Week 2. Leads the NFL in passer rating through two games at 72.7%, a dramatic improvement from his career sub-60% completion rate. At age 30, Lock has worked out the recklessness in his game and is becoming more dependable; could follow the Geno Smith post-30 path of earning his way back into a starting lineup as a bridge option.
