DK Metcalf was robbed of a catch on Monday night, and it was a big one.
After the Seattle Seahawks scored a touchdown with 3:03 remaining in the third quarter to cut their deficit against the Detroit Lions to eight points, 28–20, they opted to attempt a two-point conversion. Quarterback Geno Smith dropped back and fired a pass in star wideout DK Metcalf's direction. He made a diving catch on the side of the end zone, but it was ruled incomplete. But that's not where the drama ends.
Lions cornerback Carlton Davis was called for pass interference, so Seattle got another shot at the two-pointer. They failed as Smith misfired on a pass intended for Jake Bobo. But they shouldn't have had to try again, as it was pretty clear Metcalf made the catch.
Replays showed Metcalf got his right knee down inbounds and he secured the ball, which means the catch should have been good. Replay officials are responsible for reviewing the play and decided not to.
Video is below.

And a still.
Should this DK Metcalf 2-point conversion have counted? 👀

Fans were shocked the play wasn't reviewed and reversed.
Sure looked like DK Metcalf had a successful reception on Seattle’s first 2-point attempt, should have been reviewed. But it doesn’t matter, the Seahawks defense cannot get a stop tonight.
