Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been fined for his unnecessary roughness penalty in the fourth quarter of Week 8’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. Per the NFL’s weekly fine sheet, Metcalf’s wallet is $12,172 lighter.
Metcalf’s penalty was just as costly on the field. His post-snap jab into LB Quay Walker’s helmet marked Pittsburgh’s offense back 15 yards, turning 3rd and 2 into 3rd and 17. Metcalf also grabbed and yanked Walker’s helmet forward.
The drive ended in a punt.
