The Pittsburgh Steelers really took it to the Minnesota Vikings in a 24-21 win on Sunday morning when both teams faced off against each other in Dublin, Ireland. DK Metcalf proved to be a difference-maker for Pittsburgh, as he recorded potentially his best game of the season. During the contest, Metcalf had to let his opponents know they were on the way to losing the game, as he hit Minnesota with a brilliant taunt.
Later in the contest, the 27-year-old wide receiver was seen chatting it up with Vikings defenders. It's unclear what they said to him, but Metcalf held his hand up in the shape of an “L” and told Minnesota to “Hold this L.”

DK Metcalf burst the game open early in the second quarter after hauling in an 80-yard touchdown. He caught the ball about 15 yards away from the line of scrimmage with two defenders near him, but was able to outrun the entire Vikings defense to record the long score.

The two-time Pro Bowler had a strong performance in the Steelers' Week 4 win over the Vikings. He led Pittsburgh in receiving, as he finished with five receptions, 126 yards, and a touchdown. His 126 yards and receiving touchdown led Pittsburgh in both categories.
This is DK Metcalf's first season with the Steelers after being traded to the franchise from the Seattle Seahawks in the offseason. He was brought in to serve as the No. 1 pass option for newly acquired quarterback and future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. We should see these two connect often throughout the 2025-26 campaign, as Pittsburgh aims to compete for a playoff spot.
