The Pittsburgh Steelers know they'll be missing George Pickens for at least their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, maybe later as well. Christopher Carter explains why Russell Wilson could have the key to keeping the offense dangerous during that time. Listen to parts of Mike Tomlin's press conference Chris breaks down with film to show how it's possible for the Steelers' passing attack to make due with Pat Freiermuth, Mike Williams, Scotty Miller and others.
Also, Chris discusses how the Steelers' offensive line has shown progress, especially between Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, and Broderick Jones. That unit will get one of its biggest tests of the year when it faces the Eagles' defensive front, including Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
Finally, Chris also discusses how Tomlin addressed the Steelers' plan to stop Saquan Barkley. The Eagles' rushing attack is one of the best in the NFL, but the Steelers' run defense is also one of the best in the NFL. Which group has the edge?
