Steelers, T.J. Watt, Trending Back to Elite? | Keeanu Benton, Payton Wilson Finding the Right Places

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense registered five or more sacks for a second consecutive week and continues to trend upwards. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain the signs that show T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliott, Cam Heyward and company can form an elite defense this season if they stay healthy. The struggles in communication have lessened, and the emergence of better play from Keeanu Benton and Payton Wilson has helped the unit look more complete. Also, Chris and Alan go over the Locked on Steelers Stars and Skulls grades of the Steelers' win over the Minnesota Vikings. DK Metcalf and Kenneth Gainwell joined Elliott, Watt and Nick Herbig for top grades, but where did others rank? And what's become of Pat Freiermuth in the Steelers' offense?
