The Seattle Seahawks offense has struggled to get on track against the Cincinnati Bengals, but they have managed two touchdown drives that featured key plays from rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf.
Seattle’s second-round pick’s first NFL catch was the least consequential of his three receptions, as he was short on a third down conversion.
Here's DK Metcalf's first catch in the NFL. Slant route versus man coverage. Good catch to the ground, just couldn't get the first down unfortunately. #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/29woIMnDzk

However, Metcalf had a 16-yard grab on a slant route that kept the chains moving for Seattle’s first TD drive, and later drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone that set up Carson’s one-yard score.
