Ben Roethlisberger Thinks Steelers Could ‘Benefit’ From DK Metcalf Suspension

The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently making a final push to cement their playoff spot. However, they could be without DK Metcalf for the rest of the regular season. He’s been suspended for the final two games of the regular season because of an altercation with a fan. While he’s appealing the ruling, it’s unclear if he’ll get a lighter sentence. Ben Roethlisberger sees a silver lining to this situation, though.

“With the DK [Metcalf] situation and missing the next two games, I think what this could end up doing, as crazy as it sounds, is it could benefit us,” Roethlisberger said Tuesday on his Footbahlin’ podcast.
