Though wide receiver DK Metcalf and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith spoke frequently, the two knew something had to change after an abysmal showing in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Since then, the two have been connected at the hip and in the end zone.
Metcalf has been playing among his best football during Pittsburgh’s two-game winning streak. Smith has been calling games well. Metcalf has made plays to all levels of the field while the offense, led by a red-hot Aaron Rodgers, has fed him the football. For Metcalf and Smith, it’s simply meeting expectations, but Metcalf admits that the two dedicated time to reviewing the weekly plan.
