Steelers' Defense, T.J. Watt Show Team's Closer to Potential | Kenneth Gainwell, O-Line Comes Alive

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 Sunday in Dublin, Ireland with their defense and offense playing closer to their potential. Christopher Carter gives his thoughts from Dublin where he thinks T.J. Watt, Deshon Elliott and the defense are finding the elements to their unit that could finally make them the elite group they were projected to be sooner rather than later. A second game with five or more sacks shows the pass rush is getting sharper along with the coverage despite several injuries. Also, Kenneth Gainwell had himself a day on the ground with 99 rushing yards, over 100 all purpose yards and two touchdowns behind a strong showing from the Steelers' offensive line. Could Broderick Jones and company be figuring things out? And could that be the factor that makes Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf even MORE dangerous?
