Steelers star DK Metcalf's social media post signals excitement as NFL suspension ends ahead of playoffs

Aaron Rodgers led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 26-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens to clinch the final AFC playoff spot. Colin Cowherd asks if Aaron Rodgers can be trusted to end the Steelers’ playoff win drought.

Metcalf decided to post a skit by comedian Druski to his Instagram Story on Monday, which expressed his happiness. In the skit, Druski is playing a character who was just released from jail, which Metcalf is clearly comparing to his two-game suspension. 

Druski is meeting up with friends again in the skit, while saying "demon home." Metcalf likely will feel the same way heading into the Steelers' facility this week to prepare for their playoff game.
