VIDEO: Seahawks Extend Lead Over Eagles With 54-Yard TD From Russell Wilson to DK Metcalf
By Thomas Carannante
The injuries are catching up to the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Seattle Seahawks are taking control. Despite the Birds opening the half with a scoring drive that ended with a field goal to make it a 10-6 game, the Seahawks responded swiftly and capped off their drive with this 54-yard bomb from Russell Wilson to DK Metcalf.

Metcalf's combination of size and speed make him incredibly difficult to guard, but the Eagles completely blew this coverage. Philly's secondary cannot let this guy run free, or else Wilson is going to find him every single time.
It's 17-6 Seattle, and the Eagles are going to have to rely on Josh McCown to make up the difference.
