"We not doing that" - Tyler Lockett defends DK Metcalf against angry Seahawks fans live during Geno Smith-Patrick Mahomes matchup
Tyler Lockett is missing the game against Patrick Mahomes, but the wide receiver isn't missing what fans are saying on Twitter. After watching teammate DK Metcalf get called with holding, one fan blamed the wide receiver for ruining the early drive against the Kansas City Chiefs. In response, Lockett attacked the fan's attitude.
Here's what the fan originally said:
This drive is DK’s fault. Dumb hold on an 18 yard run. Don’t know what is wrong with him, all he does is make dumb mistakes.
"This drive is DK's fault. Dumb hold on an 18-yard run. Don't know what is wrong with him, all he does is make dumb mistakes."
In response, the wide receiver attempted to nip the complaints in the bud:
Calm down now.. no Seahawks hate while I’m on Twitter.. we not doing that at all twitter.com/seasportdiarie…
"Calm down now... no Seahawks hate while I'm on Twitter... we're not doing that at all"
According to the team's injury report, Lockett is missing the game against the Chiefs due to a hand injury.

According to the New York Post, Metcalf, in a press conference earlier in the week, gave a hint as to his wardrobe or lack thereof. Before the game started, he turned the idea into reality, alongside a dozen of his teammates.
Geno Smith and the Seahawks are playing in Kansas City today, where the weather report has the temperature listed at a high of 20 degrees Fahrenheit before wind chill with a low of four degrees.
The wide receiver came into the game with expectations of needing a big day against Patrick Mahomes, who is leading one of the most explosive offenses of the season. Many expect him to have a big statline at the end of the game as he faces the same defense that surrendered 28 points to the Denver Broncos, who didn't breach the 25-point barrier all season long.
