Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver D.K. Metcalf was involved in an altercation with a fan during the team's 29-24 win over the Detroit Lions. The CBS broadcast caught him red-handed, yet apparently everyone but his head coach, Mike Tomlin, saw what happened.

Tomlin was admittedly aware that Metcalf threw a punch at a Lions supporter when addressing the media postgame.
