Seahawks name DK Metcalf and 3 others as Week 4 captains

The Seattle Seahawks are employing a weekly rotational system for their captains this year. Instead of naming an offense, defense and special teams captain for the entire season, Seattle is opting to highlight new players each week given changing circumstances.

For Week 4 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, the Seahawks have announced their four captains:

  • DK Metcalf
  • Coby Bryant
  • Laken Tomlinson
  • Jonathan Hankins

For all four players, this will mark the first week where they have been named captains. So far, the only player who has been a captain in multiple weeks has been quarterback Geno Smith. Smith was named a captain in each of the first two games.

For Laken Tomlinson and Jonathan Hankins, it is a bit of a homecoming for both players. Hankins is a native of Dearborn, MI, and Tomlinson was a former first round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Seahawks and Lions will kick off at 5:15 pm PDT on ABC/ESPN+ this coming Monday night.

In the latest “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys get into Week 16’s biggest matchups, the BIlls’ run game, and the Eagles’ backslide.

It’s time for Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season, and Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup, and Doug Farrar of Touchdown Wire and the USA Today Sports Media Group, are here to get you ready for the most important games and interesting matchups:

Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings — How rookies Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs have come to define the Lions’ offense, and what the Bengals may have taught the rest of the NFL about how to attack Brian Flores’ crazy-quilt Vikings defense.

Dallas Cowboys at Miami Dolphins — Why the Cowboys had best be ready for Raheem Mostert and Miami’s run game, and the keys to the Dolphins’ drastic defensive improvement in the second half of the season.

Baltimore Ravens at San Francisco 49ers — Speaking of drastic defensive improvement in the second half of the season, did you know that the 49ers rank first in the NFL in Defensive DVOA since Week 10? A severe test for Lamar Jackson and Baltimore’s offense, especially without rookie running back Keaton Mitchell.

The guys also get into how the Seattle Seahawks beat the Philadelphia Eagles with the same play twice, and the Buffalo Bills’ amazing journey into becoming a force in the run game.
