The constant scrutiny of sports often leads to the discovery of potential misconduct. Recently, a video circulating online has raised questions about Drew Lock’s conduct during the ‘Monday Night Football’ game against the Eagles.
In a surprising turn of events, the Seahawks secured a significant upset against last season’s Super Bowl finalists, dealing them three consecutive losses. However, certain fans are casting doubt on the legitimacy of the victory.

The circulated video implies that Drew Lock might have utilized a prohibited substance to enhance his grip on the ball amid the challenging weather conditions on Monday night. While it appears that something powdery was visible on Lock’s hands, the ambiguity arises due to the simultaneous rainfall.
The public discourse on this matter may warrant the involvement of figures like LeBron James, but, for now, all that exists is speculation, with the NFL asserting that it was merely rainwater.
A.J. Perez from FrontOfficeSports shared his thoughts, stating, “This has been on my mind since MNF: What (if anything) was on Drew Lock’s hands here? The NFL tells me it was ‘water.’ It was raining.” Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks also chimed in, suggesting, “This definitely deserves a #… That certainly looks like chalk/baby powder and not water/rain.”
Perez acknowledges that chalk or powder is not explicitly banned. Although this revelation may not alter the outcome of the game, it adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.
In the age of the internet, such controversies have become synonymous with sports. People are drawn to the sensational, and if no wrongdoing is evident, they may embark on speculative tangents.
