Seahawks' DK Metcalf: I got ejected because I'm tired of losing

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Grey Papke | Last updated 11/14/21

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf lost his cool at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers, and he knew exactly what caused it.

Metcalf was ejected late in Sunday’s game for an altercation with two Green Bay defenders. Most notably, Metcalf grabbed and held on to Henry Black’s facemask after a play, sparking a scuffle.

There was some question regarding how Metcalf could do something so blatant so close to an official. His response after the game was brutally honest: he was “tired of losing.”

In Metcalf’s first two years in the NFL, the Seahawks won 11 games and 12 games, making the playoffs in both seasons. Sunday’s loss dropped them to 3-6 in 2021, rare territory for Metcalf.

The losing is also unlikely to impress quarterback Russell Wilson, who may be heading for a tumultuous offseason at this rate.
