Steelers Have ‘Some Things We’re Gonna Try To Do’ To Help DK Metcalf Out Of Slump

The Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff is seeking ways to help wide receiver DK Metcalf break out of his ongoing slump. Through eight games, Metcalf has recorded 33 receptions for 378 yards and one touchdown, including a one-catch outing for four yards against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio stated they are evaluating their play-calling and game plans to put Metcalf in better positions to succeed.

Marczi reports that Metcalf is averaging eight targets per game but is catching barely half of them amid dropped passes and miscommunications. Angelichio noted that the staff has things they will try to create more effective opportunities for the wideout. Marczi emphasizes that the Steelers need to find consistent production from their top receiver, including exploring run-after-catch plays.
