The Steelers’ defense mauled the offense on the first day in pads. But the offense came looking for payback this morning. Those players made it their mission to correct their issues from the previous day, and they largely accomplished that goal.

“Nobody likes to lose like that,” Metcalf said of the offense’s Wednesday performance via Post-Gazette Sports on YouTube. “Nobody likes to get pushed around the first day of pads. But we took it personal, cleaned up some of our technique stuff, some of our splits. And we put an emphasis in the meeting room yesterday that we were gonna come out here and try to ball.
