Overview
- Metcalf told reporters he is not frustrated by his usage, stressing that his focus is on winning games.
- Through eight games he has 47 targets and logged just two catches on four targets in the win over the Colts.
- Aaron Rodgers has been funneling throws to tight ends while Pittsburgh ranks low in pass attempts and total offensive plays, limiting chances for outside receivers.
- Despite the lighter workload, Metcalf leads the team in production on a per-catch basis, averaging 16.1 yards per reception with five touchdowns.
- Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith says opponents frequently double Metcalf, while Ben Roethlisberger questioned a fourth-and-goal throw that went to Darnell Washington instead of the star wideout.
