DK Metcalf is all the rage in Kelcetown these days. The Seattle Seahawks‘ standout wide receiver, famous for his ASL touchdown celebrations, got the boot from the gridiron brawl against the San Francisco 49ers.  In the final three minutes, things got hotter than a tailgate barbecue as Metcalf and Niners linebacker Fred Warner engaged in some on-field fisticuffs. The refs hit them with an early exit, leaving fans screaming. But before Metcalf made his exit, he gifted the Seahawks the first touchdown of the night. Tight end Colby Parkinson snagged another, but alas, the Seahawks couldn’t clutch the W, ending the night with a 6-7 fumble.

Metcalf’s end-zone shenanigans and secret hand signals have even caught the attention of the Kelce bros. Jason Kelce spilled the beans on the pass rusher in a jaw-dropping revelation. The NFL drama never sleeps, this time Kelce recounts a decision that could have changed the course of NFL history.
