It was more of same on the next two plays: an incompletion, followed by a 15-yard pass to Metcalf down to Minnesota's 6.
Wilson threw incomplete on three tries from the 6 before finding Metcalf for the dramatic score.
And while Wilson finished just 4-of-12 on his final drive, his four completions racked up 77 yards, and two of them came on fourth down. His 17-yard run made sure he accounted for all 94 of Seattle's yards on the eventual game-winning drive.
"Yeah, well he's good," Zimmer said. "He used his legs a couple times and got two fourth downs. He's a good player.
Eric Wilson added: "The game is there to be won. We had many different plays to win. Fourth down and whatever to win the football game, it was there. It wasn't just one time, it was a couple times."
The blown lead overshadowed a big day for the Vikings linebacker, who had an interception and a first-half sack. He has taken on an increased role with Anthony Barr lost for the season.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm getting better every game," Wilson said. "Especially a big game like this one, Sunday Night Football against a good team, it's great to make big plays. But it's even better to win, so we have to put it all together."
