INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- It was right there for the Seattle Seahawks, a deep shot down the sideline with arguably the NFL's best deep-ball thrower and one of the league's biggest targets.
But like many things in this disappointing and now all-but-over Seahawks season, it didn't work.
When Russell Wilson underthrew an open DK Metcalf on a third-down play midway through the fourth quarter of their 20-10 loss Tuesday at SoFi Stadium -- costing the Seahawks what might have been the tying touchdown or at least a big gain deep into Los Angeles Rams territory -- so ended their best chance of beating their division rival and keeping their ultra-slim playoff hopes alive.
