‘Not Going To Exhale’: Steelers Aren’t Relying On Metcalf’s Return To ‘Be The Difference,’ Tomlin Says

Not only did the Pittsburgh Steelers punch their ticket to the AFC playoffs with a win over the Baltimore Ravens in a wild, whacky Week 18 Sunday Night Football matchup, they also gave one player a shot at redemption.

That would be veteran wide receiver DK Metcalf, who missed Weeks 17 and 18 due to a two-game suspension after an altercation with a fan during Week 16’s win over the Detroit Lions.

Without Metcalf, the Steelers went 1-1, struggling against the Cleveland Browns before then finding some success in the passing game against the Ravens.
