The Steelers will be without wide receiver DK Metcalf for the final two games of the regular season after he was suspended for getting into a physical altercation with a fan during Pittsburgh’s win over the Lions on Sunday. Metcalf was seen on the sidelines taking a swipe at a fan in the middle of the game, and will now be out until at least the postseason.
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the incident on Wednesday.
“I think there’s a mindset that you pay for a ticket, you say whatever the hell you want,” he said. “I think there should be some sort of code of conduct. Obviously that was intentional and I think there was some celebration afterward on his part. Obviously don’t condone what DK did. I understand, there have been a lot of crazy comments said my way over the years. The truth is that would never happen face to face. ... There’s two sides to every story. I support DK, I’ll continue to support DK.”
