Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo, Steelers beat writer for the Athletic.

Film Review of Kenny Pickett shows how he had a good command of the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense against the New York Jets. He also had a very good connection to wide receiver George Pickens. Could that be the key for Pickett sparking on a hot start with the Steelers' offense and reviving the seemingly lost passing attack?

Also, it's time for Chris Carter's week 4stars and skulls grades with high points for Pickens, Pickett, Minkah Fitzpatrick and other key players for the Steelers. But also low marks for several players on defense who gave up big plays to Zach Wilson, and the top two Steelers receivers in Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool who dropped passes that led to interceptions.
