Metcalf had red zone target on play-action; DPI not called despite getting hands on ball.

Metcalf was targeted on a play-action pass in the end zone in Week 1, where the defensive back grabbed his arm before the ball arrived, but Metcalf still managed to get both hands on the ball. This was one of two incomplete play-action passes where the Steelers left points on the board. The source notes that despite the Steelers' inconsistent running game, Rodgers completed 6-of-8 play-action pass attempts for 65 yards, suggesting the offense could be more dangerous if the run game improves.
