A week ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ downfield passing attack was nonexistent. The Steelers couldn’t consistently complete anything further than five yards down the field, and DK Metcalf was in the middle of a brutal stretch of games. During that streak, former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel Sr. openly criticized Metcalf, claiming he “makes everything look terrible” for Aaron Rodgers.
With him being the father of current Steelers’ cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., those are certainly notable comments. But Metcalf gave the Steelers a much better performance against the Baltimore Ravens this week, catching seven passes for 148 yards.
