Let’s talk about what DK Metcalf does to a defense

John Gilbert is the Field Gulls Deputy Editor and has covered the NFL's Seattle Seahawks since 2016. He specializes in the salary cap, the collective bargaining agreement and statistical analysis, with an occasional film breakdown sprinkled in.

Following the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Field Gulls took a look at how the Bills defense played the Seattle Seahawks offense differently with DK Metcalf sidelined with a knee injury, and the impact that had on the rest of the offense.

In the two games since second year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has had two of the best games of his young career, hauling in 17 of 24 targets sent his way for 290 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
