DK Metcalf Breaks Scoreless Streak Against Rams

DK Metcalf Breaks Scoreless Streak Against Rams

12 months ago

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf caught five of his nine targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. It was the second consecutive week he reached the 90-yard mark and the first time he found the end zone since Week 4. Metcalf was also involved in the longest play of the game, snagging a deep throw from Geno Smith (elbow, triceps) for a gain of 53 yards before being taken down at the Rams' seven-yard line, setting up an eventual field goal. In Week 12 the competition gets a little stiffer in another divisional matchup when the San Francisco 49ers come to Seattle on Thanksgiving Day. Even though the 49ers have one of the more effective defenses in the league they have been prone to allowing big games to opposing wide receivers. Metcalf would project as a WR2 as usual if his quarterback was fully healthy, though his expectations would have to be scaled back if Smith can't recover on the short turnaround and Drew Lock was to take over under center.
