Metcalf not separating against Patriots; struggled to connect with Rodgers.

Metcalf struggled with separation against the Patriots' secondary, not separating at all on several plays and failing to create separation against man coverage. While he got open immediately after turning around on some quick-pass plays and had a step ahead on a boundary go route, the rhythm wasn't there and Rodgers didn't connect on multiple opportunities.
