On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks had a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Rams. With just over two minutes left in the game, the Seahawks had the ball on the Rams’ one-yard line. Wide receiver DK Metcalf had a chance to make a game-winning catch, but his performance on the final drive fell short of a go-ahead touchdown.
Metcalf had been having a great game up to that point. He had caught seven passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. He was the Seahawks’ most reliable target, and he had been instrumental in getting them to the one-yard line.
Unfortunately, Metcalf’s performance on the final drive was not enough to get the Seahawks a win. On first down, he was unable to make a catch in the end zone. On second down, he was unable to get open and the pass was incomplete. On third down, he was again unable to get open and the pass was incomplete.
The Seahawks were forced to settle for a field goal, which tied the game at 23-23. The Rams went on to win the game in overtime, leaving Metcalf and the Seahawks with a bitter taste in their mouths.
Metcalf’s performance on the final drive was not bad by any means. He was able to get open and make catches all game long, but he was unable to do so on the most important drive of the game.
It is a tough pill to swallow for Metcalf and the Seahawks, but they will have to move on and focus on their next game. Metcalf will need to bounce back and show that he can make plays in crunch time if the Seahawks want to have any success this season.
