Steelers’ DK Metcalf ripped for blowing game with Quay Walker eye poke
The Pittsburgh Steelers were not able to help Aaron Rodgers get a win against his former team, losing to the Green Bay Packers 35-25. The Steelers had control of the game in the first half, but it was the second half that doomed them. The Packers scored 28 points in the half, with 21 of them coming in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the Steelers only had nine points in the second half.
The Steelers were on their way to scoring in the fourth quarter to cut their deficit, but DK Metcalf got into an altercation with Quay Walker, where he got in his face and poked his eye. That gave the Steelers a 15-yard penalty and hurt them as they tried to drive the field.
Social media made sure to let Metcalf know he didn’t make the best decision with his actions.
“Cost them the game, from 3rd and 2 to 3rd and 17 packers scored right after that,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“DK really trying to play Mortal Kombat instead of football. Bro went for an Eye Fatality mid-drive. Fifteen yards wasn’t enough they should’ve handed him a controller and told him to sit the next quarter out,” another user wrote.
“Welcome to what Seahawks fans have been dealing with for years! Man is such a hothead, and he doesn’t mind if it affects his team negatively,” a third user wrote.
Steelers looking to regroup after Packers loss
Metcalf’s penalty wasn’t the only thing that cost the Steelers a win on Sunday Night Football, and the entire team knows they have to be better. Cam Heyward mentioned how the team doesn’t have much fight in them right now, and how they need to focus on the game instead of what the referees are calling.
We can’t let penalties or stuff that goes against you affect your heart in the game,” Heyward said via Joe Rutter. “When you’ve got a love affair with this game, there has got to always be a buy-in.”
After being up 20-7 going into halftime, some would think that the Steelers were in the driver’s seat for the game and would continue to pile up the points. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and they have dropped their second game in a row. Things won’t get easier for them as they face the Indianapolis Colts next week, another team has been playing well this season.
Jakobi Meyers Reflects on Journey: ‘I’ll Keep Giving My All, No Matter Where the Road Leads’
Jakobi Meyers has made a significant impact since joining the Las Vegas Raiders, and his journey in the NFL has been nothing short of extraordinary. The wide receiver, who came into the league as an undrafted free agent, has worked tirelessly to prove himself, and his growth over the years reflects both his dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. In a recent interview, Meyers reflected on his journey, sharing insights into what drives him and what the future holds.
"It’s been an incredible journey, and every day I’m learning something new," Meyers said, looking back on his rise to prominence. "I’ve been blessed to be part of this team, but I know there’s more to achieve. Wherever the road leads, I’ll keep giving my all — for myself, my teammates, and the fans."
Meyers’ story is a testament to the value of hard work and perseverance. After signing with the New England Patriots as a free agent, he quickly made an impression with his work ethic and reliability. His ability to catch passes in clutch moments earned him respect throughout the league, and in 2023, Meyers made the move to the Raiders, where his impact has only continued to grow. Despite all the progress, he remains grounded and focused on what lies ahead.
His approach to the game speaks volumes about his character. For Meyers, success isn’t just about stats or accolades — it’s about the journey, the challenges, and the continuous effort to improve.
Meyers’ dedication to his teammates and the fans is evident in every game he plays. He’s consistently shown that he’s not just there to perform for himself, but to lift up everyone around him. His leadership on and off the field has made him a key figure in the Raiders’ offensive game plan, and his contributions go beyond the stats sheet. Whether he’s catching passes, blocking for teammates, or offering words of encouragement, Meyers is fully invested in the success of his team.
As the Raiders continue their season, Meyers’ mindset remains clear: he’s not satisfied with where he is and is determined to achieve even greater things. His unwavering commitment to giving his all — for himself, his teammates, and the fans — is the driving force behind his journey, and it’s that same drive that will keep pushing him forward, no matter where the road leads.
