Metcalf Isn’t Bothered by His Actions on the Field
Many fans and pundits argued that the 27-year-old should’ve been ejected from the game.
After the 6-3 win, Metcalf was interviewed in the locker room and didn’t pay much attention to the hoopla around his headbutt.
“It’s football, it’s a physical sport, some chippiness is gonna happen, especially when I’m out there,” said Metcalf regarding the incident. The WR was inquired about the coach’s reaction to the two personal fouls as well.
“I’m a grown man,” he responded. “My emotions are in check. Like I said, it’s a physical game out there. Especially when I’m out there, I’m gonna test the DB.”
