Kenny Pickett Shows Command, Hope, Leadership in Debut, But Steelers' Weaknesses Cause Loss to Jets

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the New York Jets 24-20, but Kenny Pickett got his debut chance and scored two touchdowns in the process. He showed command of the field, leadership in his adjustments and gave hope to an offense that's been lifeless with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback. What he did right, and wrong, in his first game, and listen to his postgame comments that show just how well he understood the defenses he was reading. Also, why is the Steelers' defense still failing at the wrong moments? Minkah Fitzpatrick shed some light on the problems in the secondary, while Cam Heyward talked about the problems up front. Listen to both of their comments after the game about how the Steelers defense must improve, and Chris Carter's analysis on the situation.
