Steelers, Aaron Rodgers Must Catch Texans By Surprise, Be Aggressive | Contain C.J. Stroud's Rollout

Episode Notes
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner.
The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Houston Texans Monday night in the NFL playoffs. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner think the key to getting a win is Aaron Rodgers catching the Texans's defense by surprise and being aggressive. The return of DK Metcalf along with Pat Freiermuth and Calvin Austin could provide the Steelers with the deep passing threats to stretch the Texans' defense and force them to honor the deep ball, thereby opening up more space for checkdown passes and runs to Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell. But will it work? Also, Chris and Jenna review what element of their offense that C.J. Stroud and the Texans lead the NFL in, and how it plays into their overall strategy as a unit. Their usage of rollouts give Stroud time, but can T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig contain that while putting pressure on Stroud? Chris and Jenna also give you their final picks for Steelers vs. Texans. Does Chris risk wearing the Bag of Shame again?
