"Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is facing an anxious wait to learn his fate after appearing to punch a fan during the win over the Detroit Lions yesterday. Metcalf wandered over to the stands in the second quarter of the clash at Ford Field, grabbed the fan's shirt and then thrust his right hand towards him with force. Because it was not part of the on-field action, the NFL was unable to intervene."
"The fan was tracked down by the Detroit Free Press and claimed he had angered Metcalf after calling him by his full name. "He doesn't like his government name," said the fan, who said his name was Ryan Kennedy from Pinckney, Michigan. "I called him that and then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt. I'm a little shocked. Like everyone's talking to me. I'm a little rattled, but I just want the Lions to win, baby.""
DK Metcalf walked into the stands during the second quarter, grabbed a fan's shirt and thrust his right hand toward the fan, appearing to punch him. The incident took place at Ford Field and was not part of on-field action, so the NFL could not immediately intervene and has been referred to the league for investigation. The fan, identified as Ryan Kennedy, said he had used Metcalf's full legal name and that Metcalf reacted by ripping his shirt. Coach Mike Tomlin said he had not seen the incident and had no comment; Metcalf has not commented. The Steelers won 29-24 and improved to 9-6.
