You do not need to hear it from me to understand the Seattle Seahawks have a dynamic duo at wide receiver. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are a combo that routinely make defenses pay, and they have been doing so ever since they became teammates.

It can be easy to forget sometimes just how truly dominant these two are, which is why we at Seahawks Wire are more than happy to remind fans everywhere. Since the 2019 season, Metcalf and Lockett have combined for 86 receiving touchdowns. This is second only to the duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Not to give any disrespect to Russell Wilson, who was sublime in 2019 and 2020, but Evans and Godwin had a ridiculous advantage on their side. They had a quarterback by the name of Tom Brady throwing them the ball. You know, simply the greatest of all time. No big deal.

Lockett and Metcalf routinely prove themselves each week by being forces to be reckoned with. So far on the year, Metcalf has 31 receptions for 469 yards and two touchdowns. As for Lockett, he has hauled in 26 catches for 339 yards and a score as well.

Seattle will need both playing a high level if they want any chance at escaping Atlanta with a road victory.
