Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it’s the matchup with the Baltimore Ravens and how the banged-up Steelers might have to attack them. After a lackluster offensive showing for Pittsburgh against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, the game plan for the Baltimore Ravens should be obvious: sell out to stop Najee Harris and dare Russell Wilson and his shorthanded receivers room to beat them.
Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan both professed their comfort in the group the team has, even after the team tried and failed to land Brandon Aiyuk in a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. Now, it’s time for Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson and company to prove that their faith wasn’t misguided.
Alan breaks it down.
