Steelers Need T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ben Roethlisberger To Pull Out All Stops vs. Chiefs

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. JuJu Smith-Schuster returned to practice for the Steelers, but it will take more than that for the Pittsburgh Steelers to upset the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, including T.J. Watt and the defensive playmakers changing the game. But there's also a sneaky way Ben Roethlisberger can tip the scales. To beat Patrick Mahomes, The Steelers need Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cam Heyward and the rest of the defense to create turnovers and limit how many big scoring drives the Chiefs have with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill back to full strength. But with how Roethlisberger has been limited all season, what if this was the week he finally cut loose? The Steelers haven't attacked the middle of the field until their fourth quarter comeback and overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens last week, and this might be THE time to do it with Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool to open up running room for Najee Harris and give the Steelers their big chance at creating the upset special.
