Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger Spots Odd DK Metcalf Mistake Against Colts

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suggested on his Footbahlin podcast that the team missed opportunities to exploit Indianapolis Colts' man coverage with wide receiver DK Metcalf. Despite Pittsburgh securing a 34-22 victory over Indianapolis, Metcalf recorded just three catches for 12 yards on four targets, though he also added an 11-yard run.

Roethlisberger praised Metcalf's effort while noting that the offense could have tested the receiver further downfield against favorable single-coverage matchups. Steeler Nation's Anthony G. Halkias notes that while Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdowns and Pittsburgh's offense succeeded, maximizing Metcalf's involvement could make the unit even more dangerous moving forward.
