The NFL ruled on Tuesday that it will not reduce Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf's two-game suspension for initiating contact with a fan during Sunday's game at Detroit.

An incident between Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and a fan at Ford Field resulted in a two-game suspension for the Steelers wideout. But with Metcalf appealing the punishment, there are some predictions that he could get his way.

With it being so late in the season and teams still vying for positions in the playoffs, tensions are currently high across the entirety of the National Football League, but presently stealing a lot of attention in the world of the sport is an incident that played out in Detroit this weekend that saw Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf involved in a conflict with a Detroit Lions fan.

A fan with a reported history of inciting reactions from DK Metcalf at Ford Field denied through an attorney he used a racial slur that prompted the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver to grab and rip his shirt during Sunday's game in Detroit.
