Suspended for the final two weeks of the regular season, DK Metcalf couldn’t be within the locker room as the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated winning the AFC North for the first time since 2020. All he could do was call TE Pat Freiermuth pre-game and watch the kickoff from his home. After the division was won, his teammates made sure to call him back.
Joining NFL Network’s The Insiders on Friday evening, wide receiver Calvin Austin III, the man who caught the game-winning touchdown, shared the story of keeping Metcalf as close to the team as the circumstances could allow.
