From the article

Metcalf had a fine day overall, in which he led the team in yards and caught a downfield post route for a chunk gain of 51. Early in the red zone, the team called Metcalf's number on a fade route, but the ball was simply uncatchable. Later in the first half, Rodgers tried to hit Metcalf on a similar play, but the ball was uncatchable again.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Metcalf led team in yards but Steelers' repeated red zone fade routes to him misfired.

Metcalf led the team in receiving yards and caught a downfield post route for a 51-yard gain. However, the source criticizes the Steelers' play-calling, noting they repeatedly called fade routes to Metcalf in the red zone (three times), with the ball being uncatchable or incomplete on each attempt. The source suggests the Steelers should have opted for higher-percentage throws or given Washington more opportunities on those routes instead.
