Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett made a spectacular one-handed grab in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Rams in their NFC Wild Card game.
Not only did Lockett complete the circus catch, but the wideout also did it despite cornerback Darious Williams being called for defensive pass interference while guarding him.

Operating out of the shotgun with the Seahawks on their 20-yard line, Russell Wilson targeted Tyler Lockett along the sideline with the receiver working in man coverage. With Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey on the opposite side of the field against DK Metcalf, Seattle sought to exploit Lockett's apparent advantage over the rookie Williams.
Racing out along the sideline, Lockett somehow extended his hand out to reel in the 24-yard pass despite having the corner draped all over him. While the officials awarded the Seahawks a defensive pass interference penalty, Pete Carroll and the coaching staff declined the flag and took Lockett's yardage instead.
Though forced to punt the ball away to the Rams, Seattle was able to earn a field goal on the ensuing drive to tie the game. Since their duel, Williams has made up for his inadequate coverage for the Rams by picking off Wilson for a pick-six that extended the Rams' lead.
