DK Metcalf Criticized For Laying Dirty Hit On Bengals’ Cam Taylor-Britt

D.K. Metcalf is having a real hard time keeping his composure and its costing him and his team.

On Sunday, the Seahawks wide receiver laid a dirty and completely unnecessary hit on Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt. Metcalf was hit with a 15-yard, unnecessary roughness penalty.

The Seahawks went on to lose the game, 17-13 as Metcalf was held to 4 catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns.

After the game, Taylor-Britt said his “talking” frustrated Metcalf:

"I was talking." – Cam Taylor-Britt (@CamTaylorBritt_) on what frustrated DK Metcalf (@dkm14).

"When they ruled him (Metcalf) out the game, I thought that was why. When he came back I was like alright that's good I get to have fun again. I was kind of sad."#Bengals @WCPO pic.twitter.com/9ZTorjYLIZ

This isn’t the first time Metcalf lost his cool. Back on Sept. 16 during a game against the Rams, he shoved cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who had to leave the game with an injury. Metcalf was fined for the infraction.
