The Seattle Seahawks are reeling from a three-game losing streak that happened over the course of just 10 days (thanks, schedule-makers). The collapse following their 3-0 start to the season has happened so fast that the league office is still getting caught up on fines from their second of their three straight losses.

Star wide receiver DK Metcalf has been on pretty good behavior this season, not counting blowing up on offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb on Thursday night. After getting a ton of fines last year for fighting with cornerbacks practically every week, on Saturday Metcalf earned his first fine of the 2024 season from the league office.

Apparently Metcalf has been docked $11,255 for throwing a Giants defender to the ground, which you can see at the bottom of the clip below.

The Seahawks went on to lose 29-20 to the Giants at home. Metcalf put up 55 yards on four catches, but both Tyler Lockett and Ken Walker posted more receiving yards. Metcalf was also held in check this week against the 49ers, managing just three catches an 48 yards on 11 targets from Geno Smith.

For the season Metcalf has totaled 31 catches, 469 yards and two touchdowns.
