The Pittsburgh Steelers need to win (or tie) on Sunday night to make the playoffs.
But playing against the Baltimore Ravens, they’ll still be without the suspended star WR, DK Metcalf.
That’s not going to help the cause for a Pittsburgh passing attack that doesn’t have much going for it when Metcalf isn’t on the field.
They’ll hope to get to the postseason so that Metcalf can eventually play a part before his first season with the Steelers is over.

How long is DK Metcalf suspended?
DK Metcalf is suspended for two games after shoving a fan in Detroit.
Metcalf appealed the suspension, but the two-game verdict was upheld.
It means he misses Week 17 against the Browns and Week 18 against the Ravens, but he’d conceptually be back for the playoffs.
Why isn’t DK Metcalf playing today?
Metcalf isn’t playing against the Ravens due to that suspension.
He shoved a Lions fan in the front row after Metcalf evidently didn’t appreciate what was being yelled at him from the stands in Week 16.
That forced Metcalf to miss the last two games of the regular season.
