DK Metcalf let his frustrations get the better of him late into the Seahawks’ season opener against the Rams. While trailing late in the fourth quarter, Metcalf could be seen bowling cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to the floor, completely away from the play.

The unnecessary and dirty hit resulted in a 15-yard taunting penalty for Seattle, who subsequently surrendered two sacks on the following plays and were forced to punt the ball away with just over three minutes left on the clock.

Witherspoon, who had his back to Metcalf at the time of the incident, remained on the ground for a few moments before slowly getting to his feet. 

Metcalf’s dirty play didn’t sit well with NFL fans, who were quick to call him out over his behavior on Sunday, which ended up costing his team significant yardage in a crucial spot.
