"Wide receiver DK Metcalf appeared to throw a punch at a fan during the Pittsburgh Steelers' NFL clash with the Detroit Lions. The incident happened in the second quarter of Sunday's game at Ford Field in Detroit when Metcalf went to the stands to interact with the fan. Television footage showed Metcalf seemingly grabbing the fan's blue wig before throwing a punch towards the supporter's face."
"[Metcalf] came over because the fan in the stands was holding a For Pittsburgh' jersey, CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said on the TV's station coverage. He went over and the fan said something to him, obviously. Metcalf did not like what he said and you saw the swipe there. No Steelers came over to him and mentioned anything. The 28-year-old was allowed to remain in the game as the officials did not see the altercation."
DK Metcalf went into the stands during the second quarter at Ford Field and appeared to grab a fan's blue wig before throwing a punch toward the fan's face. The fan was leaning over a railing and reacted by raising his arms in a celebratory manner, appearing unperturbed. CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said the fan was holding a 'For Pittsburgh' jersey and said something to Metcalf, prompting Metcalf's swipe. Officials did not see the altercation, so Metcalf remained in the game. The Steelers now await a league decision on possible discipline before the next game against the Cleveland Browns.
