"Metcalf was caught on camera looking up at the fan and yanking on his blue haired wig before delivering a right hand pop to the guy's face. It is unclear if it was a closed fist punch, because the fan's blue hair was in the way, or if it was opened-handed; Metcalf's hand appeared to open up as he completed the swing."
"You're not going to believe what happened, and our cameras happened to catch it, CBS announcer Jim Nantz told the TV audience as the clip started. DK Metcalf mixing it up with someone in the stands Oh my gosh wow, his partner chimed in. And that is not going to have great consequences for Steelers and Metcalf, Nantz continued. You just gotta block out the noise."
"Metcalf's swing comes a few weeks after a below-the-belt punch sparked post-game chaos between the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers. The CBS broadcast was showing Metcalf on the sidelines as Wolfson reported and he looked pretty calm after the run-in. The Detroit Free-Press tracked the fan down at the game. He said his name was Ryan Kennedy from Pinckney, Michigan. He told the paper he irritated Metcalf by calling him his full name DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf. He doesn't like his government name. I called him that and then he grabbed me and ripped my shirt. I'm a little shocke"
During the second quarter and a commercial break, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf confronted a Detroit Lions fan in the stands. Metcalf yanked at the fan's blue-haired wig and delivered a right-hand swing to the fan's face, with onlookers unable to confirm whether the blow was a closed fist. CBS commentators reacted loudly on-air, and sideline reporting said the fan held a replica #4 jersey and allegedly called Metcalf by his full name, DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf. The fan identified himself as Ryan Kennedy of Pinckney, Michigan and said Metcalf grabbed and ripped his shirt. Broadcasters predicted NFL discipline, and Metcalf appeared calm on the sidelines after the incident.
