SEATTLE — Ninety-two yards and 1:52 to save a season? Drew Lock and the Seahawks ultimately needed just 1:24 to turn in a drive that not only kept Seattle’s playoff hopes alive but will go down firmly in franchise lore. Lock completed five of 10 passes for all 92 yards, the final 29 coming on a thirdand-10 pass to rookie receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who used a double-move to get open against veteran cornerback James Bradberry, then used all of his listed six-feet to cradle in a pass as he fell to the ground on the out-ofbounds line.

DENVER — Luka Doncic put on a sensational, longdistance, one-man show, but he was no match for the Nuggets’ multifaceted balancing act. Led by big nights from Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Reggie Jackson, the Nuggets cruised to a 130-104 victory over the Mavericks Monday night at Ball Arena.

The Rams defeated the Washington Commanders, 28-20, on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. What we learned from a victory that improved the Rams’ record to 7-7 and tentatively put them in the No.

DENVER — Leave it to Markieff Morris, the much less infamous Morris twin in the hearts and minds of Mavericks fans, to bluntly blurt what many of us have wondered for weeks. Morris had just watched Luka Doncic “damn-near walk through” Portland for 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists late Saturday night in Moda Center.
