Steelers' DK Metcalf Swings at Fan During Game at Ford Field
During the Steelers-Lions game at Ford Field on December 21, 2025, DK Metcalf, a star receiver for the Steelers, took a swing at a fan in the stands. The incident was captured on CBS broadcast. Metcalf and the fan exchanged words before Metcalf attempted to grab the fan's blue wig and then threw a closed fist toward the fan's face, which appeared to miss.
Officials did not see the altercation, so Metcalf was not ejected from the game. However, the NFL will review the incident and potentially discipline him.
At the time of the game, the Steelers held an 8-6 record and led the AFC North, while the Ravens were 7-7 and played later that Sunday. Metcalf entered the game with 808 receiving yards on 55 catches and six touchdowns for the season. The Steelers' remaining schedule included games against the Browns in Week 17 and the Ravens in Week 18 as they pursued a playoff spot.
