Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' run game bullied the Green Bay Packers for 205 rushing yards in their 23-19 win that advanced the Steelers to 6-3. That effort was led by a strong offensive line and tough runs by Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Chris Carter takes you inside the Steelers locker room to reveal just what the Steelers have started to change to make the run game, and how it's player-led voices in meetings making the difference.

Also, the Steelers' defense delivered another clutch performance again, with two fourth quarter interceptions by Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee. Joey Porter Jr. and Kazee talked about what's helped the Steelers play better in the second half, but also about how communication must improve on defense to play a more complete game.

Finally, Kenny Pickett didn't have a good game, but he also didn't cost the Steelers a turnover. What does he need to do to prove he can be playmaking NFL quarterback?
