The Seahawks thrashed the Cardinals thoroughly and completely last week.

And return man Tyler Lockett was a huge part of that.

Lockett was named NFC special teams player of the week, after returning four punts for a franchise-record 139 yards. That included a 66-yarder.

The third-rounder also had two catches for 36 yards, giving the Seahawks an added element to their offense during the time when they were without running back Marshawn Lynch.
