The Seattle Seahawks seemed shocked Sunday when the Los Angeles Rams came into their building in Week 1 and dominated them, 30-13. 

When asked what went wrong, Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf wasn’t pointing fingers at anyone but himself. 

"I really can’t speak for everybody else’s, but my part was just effort," Metcalf said, via The Seattle Times. "And play after play, just 100% effort, it wasn’t just there like it’s been in the past.

"So, I know that’s one thing I’ve got to clean up. And just playing as a team. When something goes wrong or adversity hits, we just can’t start pointing fingers or just looking around for somebody else to make a play or just to have an answer. Can’t look for the coaches."

Metcalf doesn’t know exactly why he wasn’t giving maximum effort when he was between the lines, but preparation is something that comes to mind when he thinks about it. 

"I think it’s just an inward experience, a lack of preparation on my part. Just got to do a better job preparing during the week and knowing my job," he said.

Metcalf also admitted the Rams, who were without Matthew Stafford’s top pass-catching option, Cooper Kupp, just seemed to want it more.
