One play after an atrocious performance that resulted in an interception by Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet, the Seahawks’ offense rebounded significantly.

After the Miami Dolphins conceded a short field goal following the interception that cut the lead to seven late in the first quarter, the Seahawks’ offense needed to get back on track. Wide receiver DK Metcalf enters the game. On the first play of the drive, Geno sent running back Kenny McIntosh waving his hand to the left in front of the snap and taking the snap. Geno nailed his three-step drop and sat perfectly comfortable in the pocket for about three seconds before letting it rip.

DK Metcalf waited wide open – about five yards away – and caught the ball fifty yards down. He was so far down the field that he had to stop and wait for Smith’s deep ball. After catching it, Metcalf passed Miami safety Jevon Holland and capped a one-play, 71-yard touchdown to give Seattle a 17-3 lead as time expired in the first quarter.

It was Metcalf’s second big catch of the day, as his reception total rose to 93 yards on two catches and a touchdown. For Smith, it was another big play to add to his good start. As of this writing, Smith is 9-for-11 passing for 158 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Aside from the one obnoxious drive that was derailed by offensive “pass interference” that resulted in an interception, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb’s offense appears to be humming along in this Week 3 game.

Still, the Seahawks defense continued to shut down the Dolphins in the second half. The crime needs help.
