Field Gulls
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 5-3 and lead the AFC North, while the Los Angeles Chargers are 6-3 but lie in second place behind the 8-2 Denver Broncos in the AFC West.
We don’t really have any serious interest or stakes in this game as Seattle Seahawks fans, but we do get to check up on DK Metcalf,who had just two catches for six yards in Pittsburgh’s win over the Indianapolis Colts. Metcalf has already matched last year’s touchdown productivity (5), he’s north of 70 percent on turning receptions into first downs, yet he could have the fewest targets and receptions of his career at this current pace. But hey, the Steelers are winning and he may yet reach the playoffs again, while the Seahawks are doing just fine without him.
The Chargers have Will Dissly on the roster but it seems his playing time has cooled off substantially, which is unfortunate.
NBC and Peacock have the game at 5:20 pm PT. Chat away in the comments!
