0:00.0	I'm Chris Carter, the Locked-on Steelers podcast here at Acres Stadium after the Steelers have won 26 to 22 over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night football.
0:09.2	This is your locked on now report. Just briefly after the game, we will have a full episode. So great for that.
0:13.4	But the story of the game has to be the Steelers defense, finding ways to make big plays when it was absolutely needed.
0:19.5	And that was the breakdown that we had
0:21.9	all week going into this game. We knew that the Steelers Interior defensive line was going to struggle
0:26.8	without Cam Hayward. I do think they might have found its answer to that with Keanu Betton,
0:30.8	that they played more in the second half. We'll get more into that in a bit. But also, you have to
0:35.3	look at T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Not only did they both get a sack,
0:39.4	not only did they both get multiple tackles and look strong in their parts against the run,

1:00.3	Between them, two sacks, many multiple quarterback hits, multiple tackles, a force fumble.
1:05.1	T.J. Watt also broke up a pass at the line of scrimmage.
1:08.1	Compared to the other side, the key edge rusher that they had,
1:15.0	Miles Garrett, one tackle, one quarterback hit, nothing else.
1:18.3	And that was a huge part of this game story,
1:22.2	was Miles Garrett not being a game record and those guys being game records.
1:24.2	But let's make it clear, this was not a clean game.
1:32.0	The Steelers had a lot of mistakes, especially in run defense, Levi Wallace, giving up another big run where he, where his gap was responsible for on a play where the kind of broke back towards him, but that's two weeks in a row. That there's 60 plus
1:36.5	yard runs given up by him. I know Mike Tomlin's not going to be happy about that, but like,
