Steelers' 3rd Down Defense Struggles vs. Eagles Not a Complex Fix? | George Pickens/T.J. Watt Update

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled on 3rd down against the Philadelphia Eagles, which wasn't normal. Christopher Carter points out why they've been one of the best 3rd down defenses in the NFL, and how they can get back to it against th Baltimore Ravens. For Mike Tomlin, it's not as complex as a fix as you might think when going back to the tape from Sunday. Also, Chris gives you updates on T.J. Watt and George Pickens, as both were designated as "did not practice," but encouraging signs have been seen that could mean either or both play in the pivotal AFC North game against the Ravens Saturday. Finally, Chris points out where the several parts of the Steelers' roster could turn into boosts for the team because of their youth down the final stretch to the NFL playoffs. Who could be the key players to step up if the Steelers want to be real contenders in January?
