Sporting a jacket on the sideline with a knee injury, DK Metcalf may have made himself some money not playing as the Seahawks got trounced by the Bills.
SEATTLE, Wash.
If healthy enough to play, however, contrary to Macdonald's statement, there's no question Metcalf would have been on the field for the Seahawks when both of those crucial mishaps happened. His presence may have impacted Ryan Grubb's play calling on prior snaps as well, especially on the three plays before Smith's unfortunate stumble when they ran the ball for six total yards and couldn't get past the goal line.
Minus Metcalf, the Seahawks only had one receiver who finished with more than 20 receiving yards on Sunday, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba snagging six passes for 69 yards on seven targets. Veteran Tyler Lockett proved to be a non-factor, catching just one pass on three targets for nine yards, and Smith wound up targeting running backs and tight ends on 15 of his 27 pass attempts, with many of those throws coming in the second half when they were trailing by multiple scores in garbage time.
