And let’s not get it twisted here. The Seahawks had some real positives in this game. The Seahawks patchwork defensive line played well. They recorded 5 sacks and had 2 passes batted in the air. They also forced two Andy Dalton fumbles, including the game-winner with 9 seconds to go.
Despite a poor performance from the offensive line, Russell Wilson still managed to complete 14 of 20 passes for 196 yards, 2 touchdowns, and most importantly, zero turnovers.
D.K. Metcalf balled out in his debut, snagging 4 passes on 6 targets for 89 years and even showed off impressive route running skills as he attempts to shake off the stigma that dropped him to late in the second round.
