I mean, obviously, things were at our control. But you know, you don&#8217;t want to be a part of any team that gives up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And as we\u2019re listening, I can see my wife tearing up, I\u2019m getting a little misty too, but I have to drive\u2026 because who does Tyler give the credit to? Everybody but the guy who actually caught those two crucial passes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lockett:<\/strong> &#8220;Geno did a great job. Zack did a great job. Everybody did a great job doing their part.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And in the post-game interview \u2013 he even provided a little life lesson:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lockett:<\/strong> &#8220;We stuck together, and we fought, and it&#8217;s always better to end the season with a win rather than a loss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the cynics will say, \u201cWhere was that team during the first three quarters?\u201d But the point he\u2019s making is, that there are times in life when \u2013 even if you\u2019re the best at what you do \u2013 just as you\u2019re about to grab that big break, it\u2019s snatched away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seattle Sports:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/1771288\/seattle-seahawks-miss-playoffs-for-just-4th-time-in-14-years-under-carroll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Seahawks miss playoffs for just 4th time in 14 years under Carroll<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And when that happens, you don\u2019t curse your bad luck.
