Steelers Win 18-10 vs Falcons | TJ Watt, Defense, Look Elite | Justin Fields, Offense Set Foundation

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers won their season opener in an 18-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. T.J. Watt and the Steelers defense proved elite with three forced turnovers and dominant play. Interceptions from Donte Jackson and DeShon Elliott along with solid coverage from Joey Porter Jr. allowed the defense to severely limit Kirk Cousins and the Falcons offense. Christopher Carter thinks that's a great sign for the potential of the defense, and the team. Meanwhile, Justin Fields started in place of Russell Wilson and did just enough to set the foundation for the Steelers' offense this season. No turnovers, a decent third down conversion rate and dominant time of posssession. But that's not enough to take the job from Russell Wilson. Is this the potential of Arthur Smith's offense? Or just a plan to keep the game safe until Wilson returns? Also, Broderick Jones and the Steelers offensive line looked good. Chris explains why that's another reason the Steelers should feel good about theri week 1 win.
