Steelers Must Fix 3rd Down Defense vs. Vikings' Poor 3rd Down Offense | Time for Tight Ends to Rise?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has been one of the worst at stopping teams on 3rd downs this season in a year they're supposed to be a top group. Christopher Carter believes that if they're to be an elite unit, this week's Sunday showdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland is the perfect time for them to turn things around as the Vikings are one of the NFL's worst 3rd down offenses. But what must they do to pull that off? Chris takes you inside the locker room with what T.J. Watt said this week about how the Steelers must clean up their defense. Also, Chris gives you his week 4 NFL picks, including his final prediction for Steelers vs Vikings.
