Metcalf got into a verbal altercation with a fan, which turned physical when Metcalf took a swing at him. He wasn’t ejected from the game due to the altercation happening on the sideline and not in the field of play, which led to a new rule being implemented that would allow ejections for such instances. Metcalf was subsequently suspended for the Steelers’ final two games of the regular season.
