The NFL and the Lions will not punish fan Ryan Kennedy for an altercation with Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf, as the league found no violation of the fan code of conduct. Kennedy denied using any hate-based language and stated that calling Metcalf by his full name angered him. The incident escalated when Metcalf grabbed Kennedy’s collar before shoving him back. Meanwhile, Metcalf received a two-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the NFL, which was upheld on appeal.
