‘Lost the Fire Power’- Seahawks Wideout DK Metcalf Addresses His Late Season Woes
Follow Us
The 2020 NFL season was an interesting one for DK Metcalf. The wide receiver drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2019, burst onto the scene in his second year with the franchise.
Making big-time plays, the wide receiver ended last season with over 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns to his name. Enough to grant him his first Pro-Bowl call-up.
But despite his stellar showing, the wide receiver faltered towards the end of the season. In his last 6 regular-season games, the wide receiver could manage only a solitary touchdown.

This, of course, was a far cry from the performances one came to expect from Metcalf. His poor form towards the end didn’t help the Seahawks’ fortunes either.
Crashing out in the Wild Card Round to division rivals LA Rams, Metcalf did manage to get 2 touchdowns, but even he knew he wasn’t playing quite up to the standards associated with him.
DK Metcalf still looking for answers
Appearing on Victory The Podcast, Metcalf was asked about his late-season woes. But it seems like the wide receiver himself is still in search of answers.
“My best explanation on that is I have no idea. I really don’t,” he said.

“We were still winning games, and so that’s the most important thing is winning football games. So that’s what we were doing, just trying to stay efficient and execute at a high level. And then we kind of lost the firepower going into the playoffs.’’
Talking about his relationship with Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll, the wideout emphasized the role he played in helping him settle into the side.

“I love his energy,’’ Metcalf said. “He lets me be myself. I can come in with a different color hair every week and he’s not going to call me out.”
The Seahawks were caught in the soup when rumors about star QB Russell Wilson wanting to leave circulated. But with that now behind them, one can expect Metcalf to have another stellar season in 2021 with Wilson supplying him some dimes.
