Seattle Seahawks’ wide receiver D.K. Metcalf committed one of the dirtiest and most unnecessary cheap shots you’ll see all season long.
Los Angeles Rams’ defensive back Ahkello Witherspoon was simply minding his own business when Metcalf came up from behind and delivered the ugly cheap shot. He was issued a 15-yard penalty for the dirty hit.
It’s easy to understand why Metcalf was frustrated. The Seahawks were a big favorite at home against a Los Angeles team that was missing its top wide receiver in Cooper Kupp, and yet it was the Rams who came into Lumen Field to pull off the stunning win.
Still, there are no excuses for a hit like that in football.
