Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf starred in a viral moment with a Detroit Lions fan during Sunday's duel. The Steelers (8-6) took on the Lions (8-6), trying to get a win that put them closer to the AFC North title, but the game presented multiple obstacles for Mike Tomlin's squad.

CBS Sports broadcast (via Adam Schefter on X) showed Metcalf grabbing a Lions fan by their blue wig before punching their face late in the second quarter.

The clip has grossed over 850K views. The Steelers and Lions entered halftime tied 10-10. Metcalf was targeted six times in the first half, catching one pass for five yards.

DK Metcalf's antics put him in a complex position with fans during his time with the Seattle Seahawks. He hadn't engaged in similar behaviors until this point, but many expressed their concerns about how the Steelers would manage his personality. George Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys after Metcalf landed in Pittsburgh, but fans continue to see their WR1 star in controversial situations.
