Overview
- The NFL’s Office of Gameday Accountability issued the $12,172 penalty for unnecessary roughness, categorizing it as “striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing.”
- With 10:14 remaining in the fourth quarter after a Jaylen Warren run, Metcalf put his fingers in Quay Walker’s facemask and grabbed it.
- The foul pushed Pittsburgh from third-and-2 to third-and-17, led to an Aaron Rodgers sack and a punt, and the Steelers fell to Green Bay 35-25.
- This is Metcalf’s first fine of the season and the 15th of his career, with reported career fines now exceeding $170,000.
- Walker said on The Speakeasy podcast that Metcalf grabbed his facemask and that he resisted the urge to retaliate.
