The Steelers are still searching for a consistent playmaker behind DK Metcalf. Could Calvin Austin III be that guy? Having missed time due to injury, the veteran receiver only returned this past week. They didn’t limit his snaps, as he logged nearly 80 percent. Still, the connection isn’t quite there. QB Aaron Rodgers wants to get it there.
“We’ve got to have different people based on the coverages that we see,” Rodgers said via the Steelers’ website, about finding more consistent contributors when DK Metcalf is doubled by defenders. “Other guys have got opportunities, whether it’s big Darnell [Washington], obviously Pat [Freiermuth] against Cincinnati, and Roman [Wilson] had nice plays.
