Monday Round-Up: DK Metcalf vs. Marshon Lattimore Matchup Highlights Important Monday Night Football Contest

Good morning, 12s. Happy Game Day! Here's a look at what's happening today – Monday, Oct. 25 – for your Seattle Seahawks.NFL Media: Watch Out For DK Metcalf vs. Marshon Lattimore As DK Metcalf has transformed into an elite wide receiver, his opponents have also become increasingly more skilled. Now the Seahawks’ No. 1 receiver, Metcalf routinely draws the defense’s No. 1 cornerback. We’ve seen it with the Rams’ Jalen Ramsey, and we’ll see it again on Monday night against the Saints’ Marshon Lattimore. Metcalf exploded for 98 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams back in Week 5. Lattimore, a three-time Pro Bowler, will be an equally intriguing challenge. He’s allowed just 12 receptions on 28 targets this season, per Pro Football Focus. Quarterbacks are often wise to just avoid Lattimore all together. There’s no doubt that Geno Smith will look Metcalf’s way, though, as the Ole Miss product had six catches on seven targets in Smith’s first start last week.In NFL.com’s Monday Night Football Preview, writer Jelani Scott highlighted the Metcalf-Lattimore matchup as one to watch. Here’s what Scott wrote about the duel: “What a way to be welcomed back from a bye week for Marshon Lattimore and the Saints secondary. The shutdown corner had the pleasure (?) of matching up with some of the NFL's best through the first five weeks. This week, he draws DK Metcalf in what will be their second head-to-head battle. Two years ago, a then-rookie Metcalf was solid but not spectacular against Lattimore and Co., finishing with two receptions for 67 yards in a six-point Saints win. The Seahawks wideout has evolved into a bona fide top-five player at his position since then, a title Lattimore can say he's had on his resume for the past several seasons. With Chauncey Gardner-Johnson matching up primarily against the always-dangerous Tyler Lockett in the slot, the game plan should allow Lattimore to spend most of the night shadowing Metcalf.”Seahawks Players Attend Seattle Kraken Home Opener The NHL has officially arrived in Seattle, and several Seahawks players couldn’t miss the Kraken’s first game at Climate Pledge Arena.
