Metcalf appeared to lose his cool during the Seattle Seahawks' game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.
During the game, Metcalf and Bears defender Tyreek Stevenson ended up making the play.
After that play, the two began jawing at each other before pushing and shoving.
Metcalfe shoved Stevenson in the face several times before putting his finger into his face mask.
Eventually, Metcalfe went so far as to headbutt Stevenson.
Bears defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker had to separate the two, but Metcalf turned his attention to him and started pushing again.
Metcalfe was awarded two penalties for personal fouls, but was not sent off from the game.
However, that did not stop fans from sharing their displeasure with his actions on social media.
“All you have to do is get under DK Metcalf's skin a little bit, then he turns into Draymond Green and he'll go down,” one fan said.
“We have to get DK Metcalf another player on the team,” another fan said.
“OMG I can't wait for DK Metcalf to get off this team,” a third fan said.
A fourth fan said: “DK Metcalf needs to stop doing this. He always makes these stupid mistakes to hurt the team.”
A fifth fan said: “DK Metcalf is a 27 year old man in his 6th year in the NFL. These things can't keep happening. Get him out of this organization.”
Metcalf is one of the best receivers in the league, but many fans wonder if his production is worth all of his mental faults.
This season, he has 939 yards and four touchdowns despite missing two games.

In his career, Metcalf has 6,271 yards and 47 touchdowns in six seasons with the Seahawks.
Metcalf is in the final year of his contract with the Seahawks next season, and it's possible he could find his way to a new team before that contract expires.
If he's not a good presence in the locker room, Seattle executives may decide to move on.
The Seahawks are currently out of playoff position and will need the Los Angeles Rams to lose a few games to get to a postseason spot.
If they don't make the playoffs, there could be some roster changes.
