Metcalf shut down again; four catches, 27 yards on nine targets vs. Patriots.

Metcalf was shut down by Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez in Week 2, finishing with four catches for 27 yards on nine targets despite receiving elevated target share from Aaron Rodgers, who had vowed to "keep feeding him" after Week 1. He also had a crucial drop on a 3rd-and-3 play with the Steelers trailing by seven points late in the third quarter. This marks the second consecutive week of underproduction (Week 1: four catches on 10 targets for 40 yards), raising concerns for a player on a five-year, $150 million contract, especially with the Steelers' ground game struggling.
