Steelers just torched DK Metcalf escape clause with one bold move

DK Metcalf has been dominating headlines for all of the wrong reasons in Week 17. The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver got into a bizarre scuffle with a Detroit Lions fan at Ford Field, which escalated to Metcalf grabbing the fan and appearing to throw a punch.

The NFL took this very seriously. Metcalf was suspended for the rest of the season as a result of his uncalled-for action, and despite an appeal, his two-game suspension through Week 18 was upheld.

With the suspension came terrible news for Metcalf (and surprisingly good news for the Steelers' front office).
