Metcalf claimed that he was just blocking, but the NFL did not think his explanation. In addition to the initial fine, Metcalf was also fined for unsportsmanlike conduct. The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks have been trailing 27-13. Witherspoon was injured and had to leave the game due to the blindside hit. Metcalf was fortunate that he was not suspended, as his actions showed a lack of concern for ejection because the game was just about more than. Metcalf stated that he was playing his usual style and blocking on each and every play, in no way taking a break.
