Russell Wilson connected with DK Metcalf on a perfectly thrown ball to extend Seattle’s lead against the Atlanta Falcons. 

You want to talk about dropping a ball right into your bread basket, that’s exactly what Russell Wilson just did in his Week 1 showdown against the Atlanta Falcons. With the Seattle Seahawks facing 4th-and-5 from the Falcons’ 38-yard line, Pete Carroll decided to go for it and Wilson came up big.

On the play, the star signal-caller tossed an absolute dime to second-year receiver DK Metcalf, who came down with the ball for a glorious touchdown. In case you missed it, check out the outstanding touchdown play below.

As you can see, Wilson put a perfect lob on that ball and Metcalf was able to come down with the sweet Grab. On that same drive, Metcalf let a ball hit him right in the chest and dropped it. However, he didn’t hang his head and made a couple of big catches soon after, highlighted by his touchdown grab.

The Wilson-Metcalf connection put Seattle up 21-12. Since then, Wilson has added a touchdown throw to Greg Olsen, his first with the Seahawks, to put the team up 28-12. The offense is cooking right now for the Seahawks in Atlanta, which is a great sign of things to come moving forward.

Wilson is slinging the ball around with ease and Metcalf is showcasing what makes him such a playmaker in this offense. All is well in Week 1 for Seattle.
