Seahawks star DK Metcalf celebrated a 73-yard touchdown reception by performing sign language for “doing business” in front of Cowboy fans — but the wide receiver couldn't prevent Seattle from suffering a 41-35 loss to Dallas.
Metcalf secured the sublime touchdown grab over two Cowboys defenders before going into overdrive and sending everyone running to the end zone.
'Standing on business' has become a viral term on social media in recent months. It is another way of saying that you arrange or handle your affairs.
Metcalf finished Thursday night's game with a season-high 134 yards on six catches in his second three-TD game as the Seahawks scored touchdowns on five of their first seven drives. Pete Carroll's squad came into the game having failed to score a touchdown on any of their previous twenty possessions.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw all three of his touchdown passes to Metcalf and also ran for a score while throwing for 334 yards with an interception.

But the wide receiver couldn't prevent Seattle from being defeated 41-35 by the Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott also threw three touchdown passes as Dallas extended their home winning streak to 14 games.
Dallas' Brandon Aubrey made four field goals to extend the 28-year-old rookie's NFL record to 26 consecutive goals to start his career.
Neither team punted for the fifth time in NFL history. But Dallas' defense, which ranked third in the NFL, forced a fourth down on the Seahawks' final three possessions as the Cowboys maintained their best home winning streak since an 18-game run at old Texas Stadium from 1979-81.
The Cowboys trailed 35–30 when Zach Charbonnet was stopped on fourth-and-1 from the Dallas 46. Seven plays later, Jake Ferguson scored before Prescott hit Brandin Cooks for the 2-point conversion. Cooks also had a TD catch in the second quarter.

CeeDee Lamb also scored for Dallas, finishing with 12 catches for 116 yards, and his 24-yard run on a jet sweep helped set up Aubrey's final field goal to put Dallas up by six.
That came after Smith threw incomplete on fourth down near midfield with 3:11 to go.
The Seahawks reached midfield with 1:11 left, but Micah Parsons' pressure on fourth down forced Smith to throw the ball into the ground, sealing the Dallas victory.
After the game, Lamb was heard telling Metcalf, “I'm just trying to keep up… I need that jersey, brother,” before the duo swapped uniforms and posed for a photo.
