Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally play the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs Monday at 4:30 p.m. But that doesn't change the plan, the Steelers need to embrace Najee Harris and be the more physical team. Let that set the tone against the Bills, and then they'll have the advantage in the game. But it's not as simple as showing up, as they'll need the offensive line, Harris, Jaylen Warren, and Mason Rudolph to balance the offense, all to play their part. But, recent trends show they can do it, and the Bills could have a weakness that plays to that. Also, Minkah Fitzpatrick is back on the field. He's not the same as T.J. Watt, but his presence can lift the entire Steelers defense with his secret X-factor of being a coach on the field. That might be the perfect recipe for Fitzpatrick to help the defense create the right disguises to confuse Josh Allen and get some interceptions and turnovers. Finally, Chris Carter recaps the playoff games that have already happened, including the Browns' embarrassing loss to the Texans. But also, how the Steelers' record against playoff teams this season is a good sign of their chances to upset the Bills.
