Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won plenty of their games this season thanks to the emergence of an improving offensive line along with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. But has that group grown enough to be the X-factor to help the team beat the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs? Also, with T.J. Watt most likely out for the game, what parts of the defense will help the unit prevail if they want to stop a loaded Bills offense with Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and James Cook? Finally, Chris Carter and Alan Saunders go over the show's Stars and Skulls grades for the Steelers' win over the Baltimore Ravens. Top graded players include Harris, Watt, and a specific offensive lineman who's now lived up to the hype of when he came to the Steelers. But is that Isaac Seumalo, or Broderick Jones?
