Steelers-Lions reaction: Mike Tomlin's team BUILT for playoff success? Will NFL suspend DK Metcalf?

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to an NFL Week 16 victory against the Detroit Lions. Did coach Mike Tomlin's team prove it is built for late-season and NFL playoffs success after beating the potent Lions offense led by Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown? Why were Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer, Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and the run defense able to have so much success against Gibbs? How much of a strength is the running game becoming on offense. With Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell finding huge holes even behind a patchwork offensive line? And is this an identity that can be maintained in the coming weeks? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders DK Metcalf's altercation with a fan in the stands at Ford Field. Could the NFL suspend him? And if so, what impact would that have on QB Aaron Rodgers and a passing game that's hit its stride the past few weeks with names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Scotty Miller in the mix?
