Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 14 vs. SF 49ers
Second Dishonorable Mention: D.K. Metcalf
The second dishonorable mention goes to D.K. Metcalf. Is it possible to have a game where he isn’t flagged for being a 5-year-old? I get there’s emotion and adrenalin on the field, but I don’t see Tyler Lockett having slap fights with defensive backs every week.
On a night where Metcalf was held to 55 yards and out of the end zone, he gave back 15 yards for nonsense. D.K. got the big contract; he should be one of the leaders on the team. It’s enough, man.
First Dishonorable Mention: Seattle Seahawks secondary
This was a group effort, so I’m giving it to the Seahawks secondary. Quandre Diggs dropped what could have been a game-saving interception and seemed to be taking poor angles on his tackles all night.
Miscommunication and blown assignments resulted in two of the 49ers touchdowns. Their tackling was horrific, and the execution was poor.
As a whole, the Seattle Seahawks defense tackled poorly, and right now looks like the reason Seattle may not make the playoffs.
Dud of the week: Travis Homer
Dud number one has to be Travis Homer. His fumble right before halftime effectively put the game out of reach.
There is a huge difference between 7-3 and 14-3 against the stingy San Francisco defense. Factoring in mediocre production the rest of the game, Homer was clearly a key culprit in the loss.
