The most remarkable play in the Seahawks’ 37-34 overtime loss to the Cardinals last Sunday night was Seattle receiver DK Metcalf’s chasedown of Arizona safety Budda Baker as Baker thought he was on the way to a pick-six of Russell Wilson. The 5-foot-10,. 195-pound Baker was on the way to just that, until the 6-foot-4, 233-pound Metcalf — who ran a 4.33 40-yard dash at the 2019 scouting combine — ended that threat with an unbelievable run-down.
Fast-forward (and we do mean FAST-forward) to this Sunday, and here’s Metcalf knifing through the 49ers’ defense for a 46-yard touchdown:

Oh, and then there was this 35-yarder to Metcalf later in the first half, in which 49ers cornerback Emmanuel Moseley was just blazed out of the picture.
DK Metcalf is just playing a different game😤

It would appear that the only person who can catch DK Metcalf in the open field is DK Metcalf.
