The Seattle Seahawks' offense has struggled in their NFC Wild Card Round matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night, but Tyler Lockett made an incredible sideline catch to put his team in field-goal range in the second quarter:

Sebastian Janikowski would end up nailing a 42-yard field goal to give the Seahawks a 6-3 lead at the time.
Lockett has been Seattle's most consistent receiver this year, hauling in 57 receptions for 965 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season.
The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Kansas State University, was originally selected by the Seahawks in the third round (69th pick overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Lockett had a fantastic rookie campaign, providing Seattle with a weapon in both the passing game and special teams. He caught 51 passes for 664 yards and six scores while returning 33 kicks for 852 yards and a touchdown and taking back 40 punts for 379 yards and a score. Lockett ended up making the Pro Bowl and earning First-Team All-Pro honors for his efforts.
The Tulsa, Ok. native has continued to be one of the more versatile receivers in the game ever since, even leading the league with 949 kick return yards last season.
Lockett has missed just one game throughout his four-year NFL career.
The Seahawks won 10 games this season, rebounding from a 4-5 start to make the playoffs. Seattle missed the postseason last year, which ended a run of five consecutive playoff appearances that included back-to-back Super Bowl appearances. The Seahawks won one of those two Super Bowls, defeating the Denver Broncos during the 2013-14 campaign.
