Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a 13-6 road game against the Cleveland Browns to fall to 9-7 on the season. Aaron Rodgers outsmarted himself and focused too much of his targets to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Scotty Miller while the better playmakers like Kenneth Gainwell, Pat Freiermuth and Jaylen Warren were ignored in the biggest parts of the game. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the game, and what the Steelers must learn about themselves and how they must win next week against the Baltimore Ravens while DK Metcalf still serves his suspension. Also, Chris talks about how the defense has improved and performed to shut down the Browns' run game and Shedeur Sanders. But can that defense stand up to Derrick Henry and the Ravens' rushing attack next week?
