DETROIT (AP) — Steelers receiver DK Metcalf swiped at a fan leaning over the railing in the front row at Ford Field during the second quarter of Pittsburgh's game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Metcalf and the fan, wearing a black-and-blue shirt and a blue wig, were speaking to each other before the two-time Pro Bowler threw a right hand toward the man's face. Metcalf did not appear to make much, if any contact.
He had one reception on six targets for 5 yards in the first half.
The 28-year-old Metcalf is in his first season with the Steelers after spending six seasons with Seattle.
