Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf has been a lot better with avoiding needless unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, which netted him several fines last season. His streak of not getting penalized or fined for a 15-yard penalty ended this week.
In the NFL’s weekly roundup of fines from the preceding week, Metcalf was dinged $11,255 for an uncalled roughness penalty in Seattle’s 29-20 loss to the New York Giants. Based on the description of when the infraction occurred, it was away from the play just prior to the end of the first half.
