Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf produced two breathtaking catches to help his team earn a final victory over the Eagles on Monday night.
With Seattle trailing 17-13 late in the fourth quarter, Metcalf conjured two moments of magic before backup quarterback Drew Lock picked off Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the winning touchdown with 30 seconds to play.
The 26-year-old was the first to beat Eagles cornerback James Bradberry for an astonishing reception in the final minute of regulation time, with the ball appearing to have slipped away from him before he pulled it back into his grasp.
And if that wasn't good enough, he then grabbed a 34-yard pass from Lock as Seattle continued to apply pressure in what turned out to be a remarkable game-winning drive.
Because Metcalf's heroics ultimately allowed Lock, who started Monday's game despite first-choice quarterback Geno Smith being named active, to find Smith-Njigba on a dime in the final 30 seconds.

On third-and-10, Smith-Njigba beat James Bradberry from the line and Lock's 29-yard throw was perfect to cap an unlikely comeback from an early 10-0 deficit.
In all, Lock connected with Metcalf three times on the decisive drive, including much-needed chunk plays of 18 and 34 yards.
Philadelphia had one last chance, but Julian Love made his second interception of the fourth quarter, taking Jalen Hurts' deep pass intended for AJ Brown and just going in with his feet to give the Eagles (10-4) to their third consecutive defeat. .
Midway through the fourth, Love picked off Hurts in the end zone to prevent the Eagles from expanding their 17-13 lead.
Lock was 22 of 33 for 208 yards. Hurts, who was questionable to play due to an illness, had 13 carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns, but he was just 17 of 31 passing for 143 yards and the two picks.
