DK Metcalf appeared frustrated on the sideline during the Seahawks’ loss to the 49ers

Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers did not go the way DK Metcalf – or any member of the Seattle Seahawks organization – would have liked.

Seattle’s offense faltered on the game’s first five drives and the 49ers rolled out of the gate to a 16-0 lead and an eventual 36-24 win at Lumen Field.

Seahawks players couldn’t hide their frustration on the sideline, as quarterback Geno Smith at one point smashed a tablet into his head after throwing an interception in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the game, the slow start fell to Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who, as Amazon Prime’s Kaylee Hartung reported during the broadcast, vented his frustrations to those on the sidelines.

Metcalf, who was targeted 11 times on Thursday, often seemed to be on a different page than quarterback Geno Smith as the two failed to connect on multiple plays down the field. Unfortunately for Metcalf, the two did connect on a 52-yard touchdown throw, but the play was negated due to an illegal shift penalty in the fourth quarter.

After three 100-yard rushing games in the first four games of the season, Metcalf has combined for just 103 yards in the last two games, both losses to Seattle.

Fortunately, Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb will get a mini-bye of sorts after Thursday night’s game to fix what’s wrong with Seattle’s offense heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
