DK Metcalf has revealed that Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll wanted him to “do it on the sidelines” during the Week 4 win in Detroit.
Metcalf was hilariously driven off the field during the Seahawks’ thrilling 48-45 win over the Lions because he needed the toilet.
The wide-out nearly gave the 12th man a panic attack in the fourth quarter before it was revealed he was simply traveling to the toilet in style.

In an interview with Kay Adams Tuesday, the Seattle stud revealed the full story, including Carroll’s unusual request.
“Pete wanted me to do it on the sidelines,” Metcalf said. “I’m like, ‘No, I respect myself too much, I can’t do it on the sidelines.'”
When questioned about whether Carroll actually said that, Metcalf confirmed and told a similar story about one of the Seahawks coaches.
“Our special team coach is Larry Izzo, and he was given a game ball for being on the sidelines when he was with the Patriots.

“So Pete was like, ‘If Larry can do it, you can do it too.’ And I’m like, “I’m not like Larry. I don’t want to be like Larry in that respect. I’m not like Larry!”
The former Ole Miss product was taken aback by how the moment it went viral captured the imagination of NFL fans everywhere.
‘I am very surprised that the big news was that I was taken away to go to the toilet. If anyone has played in Detroit, they know it’s a long walk from the locker room to the field, and I wasn’t planning on taking that walk.”

Metcalf revealed he was coming in and out of the driveway until he realized he could no longer hold out, which resulted in his cart ride.
“So I jumped on the cart and went to the locker room — I was actually on that game too.”
The one-time Pro Bowler hilarious tweeted after the match: ‘That clinch walk didn’t make it’, followed by a laughing emoji.
“Yeah, I mean, I was in pain,” Metcalf said about his cart after the game.
‘That was it. I had a little stomach ache, I had to take care of it.’

The fourth-year receiver was pivotal in the 48-45 win, taking seven catches for 149 yards — including a 54-yard reception in the second quarter.
It was the fourth most receiving yards Metcalf has had during his NFL career.
Today, the Seahawks fly atop the NFC West with a 5-3 record and currently have a three-game winning streak.
