The Seattle Seahawks will be traveling this week to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. The Steelers are favored to win coming into Week 2, but D.K. Metcalf could change the dynamic of the game.

The Seahawks began the season with a 21-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. In that game, the rookie wide receiver from Ole Miss led all Seattle pass-catchers with four receptions for 89 yards.

Throughout the game, the Bengals were able to stay within striking distance to defeat the Seahawks. However, Russell Wilson was able to connect with Metcalf on a few deep passes that helped Seattle come out on top.

Metcalf could very well be the Seahawks' X-factor against the Steelers. While Seattle started the season with a win, Pittsburgh was blown out by the New England Patriots on national television.

Coming into the season, everyone was curious to see what Pittsburgh's offense would look like without Antonio Brown. In the first game without him, the Steelers were unable to get anything going through the air as they lost by the score of 33-3.

For the Patriots, Tom Brady was able to throw for 341 yards and three touchdowns in the contest. Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, and Phillip Dorsett were all able to create big plays downfield. The Steelers secondary looked out of sorts versus the Patriots, allowing big play after big play.

With that being said, a receiver with Metcalf's skill set should be able to feast in Week 2. The Steelers will likely focus on containing Tyler Lockett which bodes well for the rookie wide receiver. Wilson seems to have an array of confidence in Metcalf, too, after working with him in the offseason.

The Seahawks usually struggle on the road but they can put their woes behind them with a notable performance from Metcalf. Therefore, expect Seattle to focus on getting the talented wideout the ball in this crucial Week 2 matchup.
