His old teammate and Broncos QB, Russell Wilson, used the same hand signals from his time in Seattle. Lockett was mic’d up for the game. So, he sensed the opportunity and passed the information to his teammates. In the videos, he can be heard decoding hand signals of Wilson to the other Seahawks players.

??? On Russ on the coaching staff to change signals. That should be obvious. Plus you lost to a team that's probably gonna win 5 games.

Tyler Lockett and Russell Wilson: Tale of two friends
One user tweeted, “you can’t change your hand signals”. Another user saw the funny side. ” Yards don’t win games, points do,” the tweet read. Lockett later informed Broncos receivers Courtland Sutton and KJ Hamler that the hand signals they used were predictable. “Change them signals,” he said.
The 29-year-old Lockett has been playing in the league for seven seasons. He has spent his entire career in Seattle. The receiver often credits Russell Wilson for helping him to become an impact player in the NFL.

It’s called complementary football, Geno did enough and will only get better as the season goes on.
