In a disappointing turn of events for the Seattle Seahawks, Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers did not unfold as they had hoped. The offense struggled to get going, with the 49ers taking an early 16-0 lead and ultimately securing a 36-24 victory at Lumen Field.
Seahawks players, including star wide receiver DK Metcalf, could not hide their frustration on the sidelines. Quarterback Geno Smith’s fourth-quarter interception led to a particularly heated moment, as he slammed a tablet against his head in frustration. Metcalf, who was targeted 11 times in the game, seemed out of sync with Smith on multiple plays downfield. Despite a 52-yard touchdown connection being called back due to a penalty, the duo failed to find rhythm throughout the game.
After a strong start to the season with three 100-yard games in the first four matchups, Metcalf has struggled in the last two games, accumulating just 103 yards total in two consecutive losses for the Seahawks. The team will be looking to regroup and refocus heading into a Week 7 showdown with the Atlanta Falcons.
Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb will have some extra time to address the issues that have plagued the offense in recent weeks, thanks to a mini-bye following the Thursday night game. The team will be eager to bounce back and put this disappointing performance behind them as they look to get back on track against the Falcons.
