Seahawks - 31, Dolphins - 23
Q. D.K., the catch and run down the sideline where you made a couple of guys miss, that was part of the sequence where you guys looked like you really took control. How big were those moments, the touchdown, the turnover, getting back in the end zone again?
D.K. METCALF: I mean, after D. Mo's touchdown, we knew we had control of the game. We had all the momentum, especially after Shaq caught the interception, we knew we had a chance to put the game away, and that's what we did.
Q. D.K., a week ago at this time it didn't look like Chris Carson was going to be able to play at all, and then he gets knocked out of the game again, and he comes back and gets 80 yards. I just wondered what your take was on his contribution.
D.K. METCALF: Chris Carson is an animal, as you all have seen the past two weeks. You know, we got backs for days, in my opinion. I think D.J. Dallas really stepped in and showed up. Homer got his first touchdown of his career. So, man, I mean we've got a lot of great backs who can just roll in at any time and run the ball hard. So I mean, Chris Carson is leading the room. He's got a lot of arsenal behind him. So I mean, he's an animal and he's teaching these young guys how to do just that.
Q. D.K., I wanted to know about your start to the season here. I heard that you lived with Russ over the off season a little bit. Can you just talk about what's the biggest thing you learned about that relationship is and why that's paying off so quickly this season?
D.K. METCALF: Yeah. We got a lot of work in during the off season. I actually lived with him for like a month during the quarantine. So it was just a good experience just to be around a future Hall-of-Famer. Russ for MVP 2020, by the way. It's just been a great experience just learning from him the game, about life, you know, and just everything else, just trying to soak up all the knowledge I can.
Q. D.K., what was it like to have fans at a game this year, and did you have any family or anyone in the audience?
D.K. METCALF: I mean it was a little different to have fans just scattered around the stadium. But, you know, it really didn't make a difference. No, I really didn't even know they were going to have fans until yesterday. But, no, it really didn't make a difference to us. We were still going to do our job and try to dominate every play.
Q. Could you guys hear them like shouting "Seahawks" after big plays and stuff?
D.K. METCALF: Yeah. I did hear them shouting "Seahawks."
Q. D.K., you just stated the case for Russell as MVP. For people who haven't been paying close attention to the Seahawks, could you elaborate on the case he's made so far?
D.K. METCALF: I mean, just look at his stats. He's thrown for 300-plus yards, I think in every game. He has a boat load of touchdowns. Only threw two picks. I'm sorry for one of them that he threw today. I mean, but his stats speak for themselves. He's a great leader, you know, a great role model. Any fourth quarter comeback and he's our quarterback, you know there's not a doubt that we're going to win. I mean, just look at his track record. It's going to speak for itself. So I'm putting out Russ for MVP this year.
Q. You said you were sorry for the interception. It looked like you fell down. What happened on that play?
D.K. METCALF: I didn't fall down. I was trying to go low for the ball and forgot where the DB was.
Q. So you're saying you lost track of the DB in that play?
D.K. METCALF: Yeah.
Q. D.K., you talked about you have running backs for days, but what can you say about the wide receivers? Tyler Lockett... what can he say about you guys?
D.K. METCALF: Tyler Lockett, all pro. D. Mo, he made some big plays today. Freddie Swain has been making plays every week. Penny is flashing at practice. I'm just waiting on him to get his opportunity in the game. They can't just pick and choose who they're going to guard. They gotta honor all of us, and when that happens, as you can see, D. Mo makes plays. Freddie is going to make a play. So we got playmakers all over the field.
Q. Thank you, D.K.
D.K. METCALF: All right. Russ for MVP.
