Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is likely to get a call from the league office and will surely get suspended.
During Sunday’s Steelers-Lions game, Metcalf walked up to a Lions fan and threw a punch at him.

According to CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson, Metcalf exchanged words with the fan before throwing the punch.
“He came over because the fan in the stands was holding a 4 Pittsburgh jersey, he went over and the fan said something to him. Obviously Metcalf did not like what he said, and you saw the swipe”
Metcalf was not ejected due to the refs not seeing the incident and continued playing in the game.
Fans are calling for Metcalf to be suspended.
“DK Metcalf should be suspended mid game and should not play the rest of the season. Police escort to the locker room needed. Stay classy Pittsburgh,” said one fan.
“It’s hard to be any dumber than this right here by DK Metcalf,” commented another fan.
