Draymond Green reacts to D.K. Metcalf’s incredible chase down tackle during Seahawks vs. Cardinals

Following D.K. Metcalf’s chase down tackle against Budda Baker to save a touchdown for the Seahawks, Draymond Green chimed in on Twitter.

Following an exciting slate of NFL action, the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals squared off for week seven’s primetime matchup on Sunday Night Football.

During the divisional battle, MVP front runner Russell Wilson was able to push the Seahawks to an early 13-7 lead. However, the All-Pro quarterback made a rare mistake in the second quarter. With Seattle in the red zone, Wilson threw into the hands of Arizona’s Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker.

As Baker broke in the opposite direction, the Seahawks’ 6-foot-4, 240 lb wide receiver began to sprint to chase down the Cardinals’ safety turned ball carrier. In an incredible effort, D.K. Metcalf showed off his blazing speed to catch Baker on the two-yard line.

Despite Baker’s interception setting up the Cardinals on the two-yard line, Kyler Murray’s offense failed to score, keeping the game at 13-7.

However, back and forth scores from both the Seahawks and Cardinals, the Sunday Night Football game was pushed into overtime with the game tied at 34.

Following another interception from Wilson in overtime, the Cardinals were able to complete their wild comeback, 37-34, with a field goal on the game’s final play from Zane Gonzalez.

While the Cardinals will head on a bye week, the Seahawks will play host to the Golden State Warriors San Francisco neighbor in week 8. The San Francisco 49ers and Seahawks are slated to kick off next Sunday at 1:25 P.M. PST.
