Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 11 – Philadelphia
Ed Stein
|
Shoutout to the Seattle Seahawks defensive line. The hog mollies had four of the team’s six sacks.
2nd Honorable Mention – Jason Myers
Let’s face it, without Myers and his three field goals, Seattle doesn’t win this game. The Seahawks struggled with consistency all night but their kicker was rock solid. Myers is 15-for-15- this season on field goal attempts. As a matter of fact, he hasn’t missed since November 3 of last year.
1st Honorable mention – Chris Carson
On a night when the Seattle Seahawks offensive line couldn’t open a hole for a mouse, Carson had a small amount of success. That was because he found a bit of daylight which he got through for a 16-yard touchdown run. The scoring play put his team up 14-0 with five-and-a-half minutes left in the first half.
Stud of the Week – D.K. Metcalf
This is getting redonkulous. D.K. Metcalf looks like a man among boys on the field. Darius Slay made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three years. Monday, Metcalf made Slay look like a rookie. It didn’t matter if it was a bomb down the seam or a short pass over the middle Slay couldn’t handle him.
Amazingly enough, Metcalf didn’t find the end zone for only the fourth time this season. But he did just about everything else. Metcalf’s stat line just jumps off the page in an otherwise mediocre offensive game. He finished with 10 receptions for 177 yards.
