    The Terrible Podcast — Talking DK Metcalf, Tomlin Tuesday, Steelers-Lions All-22 Final Notes, & More

    December 24, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 68 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the latest news concerning Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf on the heels of his two-game suspension being upheld on Tuesday following his appeal hearing. We discuss several aspects related to Metcalf’s suspension and that includes going over voids of guaranteed money in his contract moving forward. We also talk about the wide receiver situation in Pittsburgh for the team’s final two regular season games now that Metcalf has officially been suspended. The Steelers are bringing back WR Brandon Johnson to the practice squad this week, so we go over that bit of news. We also talk about one sport on the active 53-man roster being open now that Metcalf has been suspended for the next two games. The Steelers have three players that were voted to the annual Pro Bowl Games this week, so we discuss that news. We also discuss the one Pro Bowl Games alternate from the Steelers that we know about so far. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable things that he had to say to the media. We discuss his comments on the Metcalf situation, the overall health of the team entering Week 17, and how the team might handle a potential meaningless game on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and much more. Is OL Spencer Anderson poised to be the team's future starting left guard in 2026 at this point? We discuss that possibility based on what Tomlin said about Anderson on Tuesday. We also discuss the help that T Dylan Cook should get on Sunday against Browns DE Myles Garrett. Alex and I begin our weekly recap of the All-22 tape of the Steelers’ last game, the Sunday afternoon road win against the Detroit Lions. We start on the offensive side of the football and spend a lot of time discussing the play of several individual players. We discuss QB Aaron Rodgers long touchdown pass to RB Kenneth Gainwell as well as several key plays that were made in that contest. After thoroughly discussing the offensive tape from Week 16, Alex and I then do the same when it comes to the defensive side of the football. We discuss the Steelers shutting down the Lions' running game and the unit managed key situations on Sunday. We also discuss the overall play of Lions QB Jared Goff against the Steelers and several key stats related to both sides of the football. Alex and I make sure to recap the AFC North clinching scenarios the Steelers have entering Week 17 as well. This 107-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Terrible Podcast — Steelers-Lions Recap, Metcalf Incident, Clinching Scenarios & More

    December 22, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 67 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 16 Sunday afternoon win against the Detroit Lions. Was the Steelers’ Sunday road win the best one that HC Mike Tomlin has ever had in the regular season? Alex and I address that question early on in this show. We both make sure to note how surprised we were that the Steelers beat the Lions on Sunday and how enthralling the end of that game was. In our weekly housekeeping portion of this show, which is sponsored by the fine folks at TouringPlans.com, Alex and I talk about the Steelers' Sunday inactive list and the players who missed the contest due to injuries. We also talk about the transactions that the team made on Saturday afternoon. Alex and I discuss RB Kaleb Johnson and WR Roman Wilson both being healthy scratches on Sunday and why DL Logan Lee was likely active for the game against the Lions. The Steelers sustained a few injuries on Sunday, so we discuss those. That list of players included CB Brandin Echols (groin) and WR Calvin Austin III (hamstring). After going through the newsy items related to Saturday and Sunday, Alex and I look at what all transpired at Ford Field against the Lions. We first talk about the play of the Steelers' offense and how good the rushing attack was. We also discuss several of the big plays made on Sunday and how QB Aaron Rodgers once again seemed to be in total control of the unit. We make sure to discuss how often the Steelers used an empty backfield against the Lions and why. RB Kenneth Gainwell, RB Jaylen Warren, WR Scotty Miller and WR Adam Thielen all had healthy contributions on Sunday, so we make sure to tip our caps to those players, along with several others. After a lengthy discussion about the Steelers' offense, Alex and I do the same with their defense. We discuss that unit controlling the Lions' rushing attack and how there were essentially three takeaways on that side of the football on Sunday. We discuss several individual performances on defense against the Lions. Finally, Alex and I give some thoughts on special teams play from Sunday. We discuss the late miss by K Chris Boswell, the low snap by LS Christian Kuntz and the players that registered tackles in that third phase of the game. There were several key penalties during the Steelers-Lions game, so we discuss the more notable ones. We also discuss the final play of the game as well. After discussing Sunday's game in detail, Alex and I discuss the troubling altercation that WR DK Metcalf had with a fan on Sunday. We discuss what has been said about what possibly led to that interaction and whether Metcalf is likely to be suspended for a game for his actions. After discussing Metcalf's Sunday incident, Alex and I look at the AFC North clinching scenarios for the Steelers heading into Week 16. We discuss the possibility of the Steelers' Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns possibly being meaningless and if the team would consider resting starters should that ultimately come to fruition. Is the AFC wide open enough for the Steelers to win at this point? Alex and I address that question later in this show. We also discuss Tomlin registering a 19th non-losing season on Sunday after logging his 200th career win in the NFL. This 114-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
