Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was fined for taunting against the Cleveland Browns in the Steelers’ 27-24 Week 4 Thursday Night Football loss.
Metcalf was fined $11,941 for taunting by the NFL. He was also flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play, when he tossed the ball at two Cleveland defenders after making a catch for 7 yards in the first quarter of Thursday’s game.
The penalty only slowed what became a 17-play, 78-yard touchdown drive for the Steelers. Metcalf was not penalized again in the game. It was the fifth flag thrown on him this season, with four of those penalties accepting, costing his team 42 yards.
