Steelers WR Metcalf Downplays Facing Former Seahawks Team

DK Metcalf, a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, is set to face his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, in the Steelers' first home game of the 2025 season. Metcalf, who spent six years with the Seahawks and earned two Pro Bowl selections, downplays the idea of the game being a 'revenge' matchup, calling it "just another football game." The Steelers acquired Metcalf by trading a second-round draft pick to Seattle and signing him to a five-year, $130 million contract. Metcalf has been working closely with Aaron Rodgers and showed promise in the season opener with four catches for 83 yards. Seahawks defensive back Shaquill Griffin acknowledges the potential for personal stakes but emphasizes the team's focus on overall performance and recovering from a recent defensive struggle. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recognizes the game's added significance due to Metcalf's history with Seattle, though Metcalf himself prefers to focus on the present and future.
