DK Metcalf appeared frustrated on the sidelines during the Seahawks' loss to the 49ers

Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers didn't go the way DK Metcalf – or any member of the Seattle Seahawks organization – would have wanted.

Seattle's offense stalled on the first five drives of the game and the 49ers jumped out to a 16-0 lead and ultimately won 36-24 at Lumen Field.

Seahawks players couldn't hide their frustration on the sidelines when quarterback Geno Smith once hit a pill against his head after throwing an interception in the fourth quarter. Early in the game, the slow start affected Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, who, as Amazon Prime's Kaylee Hartung reported on the broadcast, expressed his frustration to viewers.

Metcalf, who was targeted 11 times Thursday, often appeared to be on different sides than quarterback Geno Smith as the two failed to connect downfield on several plays. Unfortunately for Metcalf, the two connected on a 52-yard touchdown throw, but the play was nullified due to an illegal shift penalty in the fourth quarter.

After three 100-yard games in the first four games of the season, Metcalf has only totaled 103 yards in the last two games, both losses for Seattle.

Fortunately, Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb will have a mini-bye of sorts after Thursday night's game to fix the Seattle offense's woes ahead of its Week 7 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
