PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Steelers receiver DK Metcalf says the defense has done a great job of keeping the team in games recently, it’s time for the offense to be more consistent as they play in a first-place game in Cincinnati Sunday night.
How do you do that?
“Every time we get the ball score, that would be a great start,” Metcalf said.
And it would, they did that in most of their drives against the Bengals in the first game. They started touchdown, touchdown, field goal and ended with a pair of field goal drives.
“These are two good offenses going against each other,” Metcalf said. “I said it, the best defense, that team is going to win the game. I think we are going to put up a lot of points. They are going to put up a lot of points, if they can be past our defense. The way our defense is playing, it’s going to be tough to do that.”
“I have the utmost confidence in our guys.”
The veteran also has confidence in what will be another week without several key receivers-Roman Wilson and Michael Pittman, Junior. Wilson scored the first TD in the other Bengals game. Steelers are likely to have Ben Skowronek returning. He’s a special teams leader, but has a touchdown reception this year and in 2022 with the Rams had 39 receptions for 376 yards with 16 of those catches for first down.
“He gives us a lot of different looks on offense, whether he’s running a route or blocking, his presence is definitely felt when on the field,” Metcalf said.
Metcalf said he spent the bye week with his family in Mississippi, it was a good reset. Steelers are going to need more from him and the offense for the last nine regular-season games.
“Coming off the bye, you never want to be slow starting,” Metcalf said. “On Sunday you got to come out shooting on all cylinders. I think our main job is to pick up where we left off in the Cleveland game.”
