The NFL fined Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in Week 8. He will lose $12,172.
Metcalf got into it with Packers linebacker Quay Walker with 9:45 remaining in Sunday night’s game. Metcalf put his fingers in Walker’s facemask before grabbing Walker’s facemask.
The 15-yard penalty turned a third-and-2 into a third-and-17, and Aaron Rodgers was sacked, forcing a punt.
Metcalf caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the 35-25 loss to Green Bay.
It is Metcalf’s first fine of the season but the 15th of his career.
