Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf could have another fine coming his way after letting out some frustration late in Sunday’s 28-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
After 49ers linebacker Fred Warner snagged an interception, Metcalf came to make the tackle. But instead of a traditional takedown, he picked up and body-slammed Warner to the ground, who had pitched the ball off to Dre Greenlaw after making the pick.
Metcalf’s actions led to some predictable jawing between the two NFC West rivals, and ended with both Metcalf and 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir getting ejected.
The Seattle Seahawks are still set to host the Philadelphia Eagles at Lumen Field in a critical Week 15 matchup, but that game will now be played the following day on Monday Night Football.
The NFL announced Thursday that the Eagles-Seahawks game will replace the Kansas City-New England game on Monday night.
It’s the first time that the NFL has ever flexed a game on Monday Night Football.
“The first-ever Monday Night Football flex: the NFL is flexing Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce off of Monday Night Football in Week 15, replacing the Dec. 18 Chiefs at Patriots game with Eagles at Seahawks. Eagles now will have three consecutive standalone games from Weeks 14-16: Week 14: at Dallas on SNF Week 15: at Seattle on MNF Week 16: Giants on Christmas Day.”
Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Jason Peters is questionable to return to Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers due to stinger in his shoulder, the team announced.
Peters was recently signed to the active roster after signing with the practice squad earlier in the season.
The Seattle Seahawks suffered a potentially big loss early on vs. the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
