Behind the Steel Curtain
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has had his two-game suspension upheld by the NFL, per Adam Schefter.
“NFL upheld DK Metcalf’s two-game suspension,” Schefter reports. “He now will miss Pittsburgh’s final two regular-season games at Cleveland and against Baltimore. Metcalf now loses $555,556 in salary and has the guarantees on $45 million voided.”
Metcalf made contact with a fan during Week 16’s win over the Detroit Lions, swatting at his face after the fan was verbally taunting him.
The Steelers will now be without Metcalf until the postseason begins, assuming they make it to the playoffs. Pittsburgh clinches the AFC North with a win or a loss by the Baltimore Ravens to the Green Bay Packers. If neither of those scenarios happens, the Week 18 matchup between the Steelers and Ravens will be for the division.
