Russell Wilson drops a dime to DK Metcalf to give Seahawks late lead (Video)
By Mark Powell
Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott continue to go back and forth in Seattle
Metcalf had a sure touchdown knocked out his hands in the first half, but made sure to hold onto this dime from Wilson. The Seahawks and Cowboys offense have matched each other all game, with the secondaries of both teams struggling to keep up.
Wilson has now thrown five touchdown passes in back-to-back games, keeping up his pace as the likely MVP frontrunner at this point in the regular season. Wilson’s pass to Metcalf, which was made after dancing around in the pocket, was dropped into the bread basket with ease.
For the second straight week, Wilson carried his team offensively
Russ has been forced to carry his team offensively this season. In Week 2, Cam Newton and the Patriots scorched the Seattle defense, but Wilson was just a little bit better. This week, the same can be said about Prescott and the Cowboys victory, even if the result doesn’t go Wilson’s way.
Should we be surprised at this point? There are exactly two players who can make that throw, and the other resides in Kansas City. Thankfully, we’ll see him on Monday night.
