'And play after play, just 100 per cent effort, it wasn't just there like it's been in the past. So, I know that's one thing I've got to clean up. "And just playing as a team. When something goes wrong or adversity hits, we just can't start pointing fingers or just looking around for somebody else to make a play or just to have an answer. Can't look for the coaches. . . . I can't tell you. "I think it's just an inward experience, a lack of preparation on my part. Just got to do a better job preparing during the week and knowing my job.' Metcalf has been one of the Seahawks' top playmakers since being drafted in 2019, with two 1,000-yard receiving seasons and a trip to the Pro Bowl.
