Steelers Star D.K. Metcalf Caught on Camera Shoving Fan
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is about to find himself in hot water with the NFL after his physical confrontation with an opposing fan on Sunday.
During the second quarter of the Steelers' road matchup against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, CBS cameras caught the 28-year-old appearing to strike a Lions fan seated in the front row near the Pittsburgh bench. Announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo discussed the altercation as well as the video footage played.

As you can see in the clip above, Metcalf and the fan in the Honolulu Blue wig were having words, though right now we don't know what was said by either. Whatever was discussed, Metcalf reacted physically, which is obviously a massive mistake on his part.
Metcalf was not penalized during the game, but some type of punishment will be forthcoming from the league this week. You can guarantee that.
Steelers, Lions tied at halftime
In a game with playoff implications for both teams, Detroit and Pittsburgh have battled to a draw at intermission.
The Steelers took an early 3-0 lead on a 59-yard Chris Boswell field goal in the first quarter, but the Lions countered with a 36-yarder from Jake Bates in the second period and then followed those points up with a touchdown pass from Jared Goff to rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa.
Kenneth Gainwell really living up to his last name

Pittsburgh managed to tie the score at 10 in the final seconds before halftime on a miraculous 45-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Kenneth Gainwell.
The second half will be coming up shortly on CBS.
