Wilson threw five touchdown passes, setting a record for most scoring passes in the first three games of a season with 14.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 13 TDs in his MVP season of 2018.
Wilson became the first quarter back to have at least four TD passes in each of the first three games.
It was Metcalf who found redemption in the closing minutes.
The wide receier appeared to have a walk-in touchdown after hauling in a deep pass from Wilson late in the first quarter.
But he was careless with the ball in the final few steps before the goal line, and Dallas cornerback Trevon Diggs came up from behind and knocked the ball free.
Instead of a touchdown and 16-3 lead for Seattle, it was a 62-yard reception and a forgettable moment.
Metcalf was mostly quiet after his mistake but when Seattle needed a big play late, Wilson floated a pass into the end zone and allowed teammate toprovide the decisive score.
