Pittsburgh Steelers Podcast | Steel City Underground

The Steelers are 1-0, but there’s plenty to clean up as Mike McCarthy takes his team on the road for the first time this season. Joe and Brian preview Pittsburgh’s Week 2 matchup with the New England Patriots, starting with an offense that struggled on third down and never quite found its rhythm against Atlanta. Can Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers passing game turn missed opportunities into bigger plays, and will Pittsburgh make a greater commitment to the run? The hosts also look at what Patrick Graham showed in his defensive debut, including how the Steelers are moving T.J. Watt around and generating pressure without relying heavily on the blitz. Plus, they discuss Joey Porter Jr.’s status, the challenge Drake Maye presents, New England’s weapons, and the matchups that could decide Sunday’s game. The show wraps up with keys to the game and predictions as the Steelers look to leave Foxborough with a 2-0 record. Fan Questions Want to be featured on the show?
