Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers gutted out a tough 19-13 win over the Tennessee Titans with leadership from its defensive stars T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cam Heyward and Joe Haden with the game-saving tackle.But can the defense sustain a tough level of play to keep the team in the AFC North race? Players like Devin Bush, Chris Wormley, Terrell Edmunds, Cameron Sutton and Arthur Maulet also stepped up to bring the unit together. Stopping the run is still an issue, but the Steelers are far from out of the playoffs.Ben Roethlisberger and the offense still have plenty to clean up as Najee Harris and the run game couldn't get going and the passing game couldn't open up anything while the offensive line continued to look terrible. Who's to blame? Ben? O-line? Matt Canada? The answer is all of the above.Mike Tomlin has the Steelers back in a winning percentage and now his youngest defensive stars are kicking in and making big plays. When the Steelers lose, fans are ready to throw the towel in, but this win, just as several others over the last 15 years, should remind you to not count the Steelers out from being a competitive organization.Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'Soul Kick' by Ceddy P, and 'Too Easy' by Nerdboy.
