The NFL’s most dangerous weapon? D.K. Metcalf hauls in 2 early touchdown passes for Seahawks against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is putting on a show against the San Francisco 49ers at CenturyLink Field.
The 2nd-year player from Ole Miss recorded 2 touchdowns in the first half, as part of a big 6-catch, 102-yard performance. He now has 7 scoring grabs on the year and has broken the 100-yard mark with plenty of time remaining—putting him on track to best his career-high of 123 yards set as a rookie.
Metcalf’s 1st touchdown catch came on a pass from Russell Wilson to the middle of the field with time running out in the 1st quarter, with the former Rebels star taking it to the outside and using his speed to turn it upfield and find the end zone.
The 2nd one came after a fake handoff by Wilson at the 49ers’ 2-yard line, with the veteran throwing it over the middle to a tightly guarded Metcalf to put the Seahawks ahead with 3 minutes left in the 1st half.
Go ahead and GO, @dkm14! ???
