When the Pittsburgh Steelers squandered a golden opportunity against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, the focus quickly shifted to head coach Mike Tomlin and Browns star Myles Garrett. Tomlin is now 0-4-1 in his last five games against teams with records at least eight games below .500. Meanwhile, the Steelers clearly made an effort to prevent Garrett from breaking T.J. Watt's single-season sack record.
But we can't ignore the ramifications DK Metcalf's suspension is already having on this team.
Metcalf's two-game suspension was upheld after getting into a physical altercation with a Lions fan at Ford Field during Pittsburgh's impressive 29-24 win in Detroit in Week 16.
