Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf just called out Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner before Week 5 in the most savage way possible.
Less than 24 hours before kickoff, reporters asked Metcalf what he needs to be mindful of when facing off against All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner, and the Steelers wide receiver may have added some fuel to their rivalry with his response.
"Who?" Metcalf told reporters about Gardner. "Win my matchup. I don't worry about what a DB does well. They gotta guard me."

Yikes. The Metcalf and Gardner rivalry just got a little more intense. The two
have previously gone head-to-head three times, with Gardner seemingly getting the better of the matchup so far.
Metcalf has had trouble against All-Pro cornerbacks in the past, such as when he faced off against New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez and was ultimately locked down. But Gardner has struggled mightily this season, and this may be Metcalf's best shot at some revenge.
