In a near must-win situation, DK Metcalf torched a supposed elite Dallas Cowboys secondary to the tune of 6 catches for 134 yards and 3 touchdowns. DaRon Bland, a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, was left helpless when matched up with the star receiver for the Seattle Seahawks.
Unfortunately, the Seahawks defense forced 0 punts and had a uniquely awful performance that meant that scoring 35 points against a team that hadn’t lost a home game in two years was not enough for a win. Seattle hadn’t lost a game when scoring at least 35 points since 2007, which was a meaningless 44-41 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
