Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf gave his team a sudden lead on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks had scored just one offensive touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers during the regular season.

But it seems to be the stage of Saturday's NFC Wild Card matchup against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium that is bringing out the best in the Seahawks offense.

After Seattle rookie running back Kenneth Walker III gave the Seahawks their first points of the game with a touchdown run, receiver D.K. Metcalf did him one better with a 50-yard scoring grab after what was basically a perfect downfield pass from quarterback Geno Smith. The Seahawks suddenly had a 14-13 lead.

After trailing 10-0 early, the Seahawks responded quickly to take the lead in a game that they were given little chance to win. 

Even before his big touchdown, Metcalf was instrumental in helping Seattle build momentum. He had three grabs for 23 yards before the score, including a key 12-yard catch on third down before Walker found the end zone.

The 49ers went three-and-out after Metcalf's highlight, but the Seahawks returned the favor with a punt as well.
