DK Metcalf ejected after fight ensues between Seahawks and 49ers

DK Metcalf has been ejected from Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers following a fight involving the star wide receiver. San Francisco’s Deommodore Lenoir was also ejected, but things really boiled over after an altercation between Metcalf and Fred Warner.

After grabbing an interception, Warner lateraled the ball to a teammate while Metcalf tried to tackle him to the ground. Even with the ball out of Warner’s hands, Metcalf continued his tackle and slammed Warner backwards into the turf.

After getting up, Warner gave a shove to Metcalf in the back, and that’s when Metcalf really went after Warner. The WR was seen grabbing Warner’s facemask and jawing with the defender before Lenoir came in with a late shove of Metcalf.

It was a frustrating afternoon for Metcalf and the Seahawk offense. Metcalf did have 52 yards and a touchdown, but Seattle QB Drew Lock threw 2 interceptions in the 28-16 loss for the Seahawks. The star WR could also be looking at an NFL fine as a result of Sunday’s altercation.
