San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir keeps trolling DK Metcalf after Seahawks loss

Geno Smith came into the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers leading the NFL in passing yards. Star wide receiver DK Metcalf has been a big help, racking up 421 receiving yards, which ranked fourth in the NFL.
So it was no surprise to see Metcalf as a focal point in Seattle’s offense, with his QB targeting him a game-high 11 times. What did come as a surprise was the fact that the two-time Pro Bowl receiver only hauled in three of those passes for 48 yards. It’s the fewest he’s had since Week 1. As if Metcalf wasn’t frustrated enough with his lack of production, the Seahawks lost 36-24 to their rivals, losing their stake for first place in the NFC West.
After the game, 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir made sure everyone knew just how much Metcalf struggled on Thursday night.
Deommodore Lenoir can’t stop talking trash to DK Metcalf after San Francisco 49ers win
While he’s not a household name, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir has started 26 games in a row for a top-notch defense. The former fifth-round pick definitely has a chip on his shoulder, and when he gets to face a two-time Pro Bowl talent like DK Metcalf, you can expect his best effort.
Obviously, Metcalf wasn’t happy with his own performance, but Lenoir was very happy with the results. So much so that he called out the Seahawks receiver in a post-game interview, and even went after Metcalf on Instagram Live on Friday morning after a good night’s sleep.
While Lenoir is clearly living his best life right now, the grades from Pro Football Focus suggest he didn’t have as good of a night as he thought, even if Metcalf struggled.
According to PFF , Lenoir was targeted ten times and allowed seven receptions for 67 yards. Lenoir earned a substandard grade of 50.5 for the game. He also missed four tackles. However, he did end up with seven tackles and a pass breakup.
