D.K. Metcalf Held In Check In Week 6
3 years agoSeattle Seahawks wideout D.K. Metcalf was tied for the team lead in targets, but he was mostly held in check during the team's Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Metcalf caught six of his seven targets for 58 yards in the loss, with a long of just 14 yards. Metcalf has now gone for at least 50 yards in every single game, and he's caught a touchdown in four out of six games. This was his first game this season where he failed to catch a ball for at least 15 yards, so it's clear that Metcalf will be less of an explosive option with quarterback Geno Smith under center. He'll remain one of the top two targets in this offense, but expectations need to be tempered until further notice.
