DK Metcalf made a big catch to seal a big playoff win and knew it right away.
The Seahawks had a 3rd-and-10 from their 11 with 1:47 left. The Philadelphia Eagles had one timeout left trailing 17-9 and there was some thought that Seattle might run the ball to get Philly to burn their final timeout. Instead, they threw deep to Metcalf, who beat his single coverage.
After coming down with the 36-yard catch, Metcalf knew the game was over and waved/flashed the peace sign to say goodbye.

What a playoff debut for Metcalf. The second-round pick had 7 catches for 160 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown catch in the 17-9 win. The 160 receiving yards set a playoff record for a rookie.
