DK Metcalf was inspired to beat the Eagles after Philly coach compared him to Calvin Johnson

DK Metcalf, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver the Philadelphia Eagles could have drafted but didn’t, made the Eagles absolutely miserable on Monday night. Metcalf had a career game, making 10 catches for 177 yards in the Seahawks’ 23-17 win over the Eagles.

Metcalf has been a superstar since the moment he stepped onto an NFL field, so his great game shouldn’t surprise anyone. But his performance on Monday night had a little more juice behind it than normal. Metcalf played with a chip on his shoulder thanks to a compliment from Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz that might have been misunderstood.
