Metcalf had a less-than-ideal first half
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was penalized on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals when he unnecessarily shoved defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt.
It appeared Metcalf was frustrated with the play on offense and took it out on the cornerback. Metcalf ran down the field looking for the ball with Taylor-Britt guarding him. As the defender ran back toward the ball, Metcalf came over from behind and gave him a big shove.
