Steelers' Top Challenges for Mike Tomlin to Return Team to Playoff Success After 3-Year Extension

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Mike Tomlin to a 3-year extension to be their head coach through 2027. But can he return to the team to having playoff success? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders analyze that question, looking at the biggest problem for playoff failures, as well as what factors can play into returning the team to winning in the playoffs. But also, how can Tomlin rebuild the team's culture on offense? Broderick Jones spoke at OTAs last week, and you can see everything he said in today's show to see how he is a big part of the puzzle in the culture rebuild.
