After the win, Lockett, whose Twitter bio simply reads “CHRISTIAN,” was quick to deflect any praise.
“I just give God all the glory. I know it’s all about making the best out of all your opportunities, and I just want to be able to stretch myself,” he told Deion Sanders on NFL Network.

Lockett echoed the sentiment on Instagram, posting a short “Letter to God.”

“A Letter to God.
“This time I won’t let the blessings you give me take me away from you! You forever got me. And I’m here to stay!”
Lockett has been a devout Christian since he was a child and frequently discusses his faith publicly.

In September, he told NBC Sports: “When you have a faith in God, you don’t worry about your life. What’s the point in serving somebody who created you and has a plan for you but then you never trust that the plan is going to prevail?”
Lockett’s Seahawks (7-2) now head into a titanic “Monday Night Football” matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL’s last undefeated team at 8-0.
