DK Metcalf’s absence from the offense for the final two-week stretch is huge, but I would argue Darnell Washington is a close second. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in trouble without both of them on Sunday for a winner-takes-all game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Not only has Washington turned into one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets, but the value he provides in the blocking game cannot be replicated. They can only hope to keep the jumbo package as effective as it’s been for them throughout the year. Former Steelers OL Trai Essex discussed the loss of Washington.
