DK Metcalf urges 12s to not sell their tickets to Sunday's home finale

On Sunday, the Seahawks finish their regular-season home schedule with a visit from the Vikings.

Last Sunday, Lumen Field was infiltrated by Cheeseheads. Will the next game feature an outbreak of the SKOL clap?

"We still need them to come out and be supportive," Seattle receiver DK Metcalf told reporters on Wednesday regarding the home fans. "I know in the first quarter, second or third play of the game, it got crazy loud in there. I looked around and there were a lot of Green Bay fans. They did a great job traveling, but just wishing us 12s didn't sell as many tickets as they did to make sure we kept the home-field advantage. But yeah, man, it would mean a lot just to take this last one home and finish off the season strong so we can play again in front of them in the playoffs."

It's surprising that Seahawks fans have lost so much of their fanaticism. Given, however, that they got their long-coveted Super Bowl win in 2013, it's on the team to give them reasons to keep showing up in search of another.

Who on the Seahawks provides excitement? Who's selling the team locally? Say what you will about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but he knows how to generate interest in his team. Seahawks owner Jody Allen doesn't do that.

Really, the Seahawks have no one who is willing or able to make the case for 12s to not sell their tickets. Who's the face of the franchise? Who's the one motivating the fans to show up and get loud?

Winning definitely moves the needle. It helps to have someone move the needle even when the team isn't a championship contender.
