Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.comThe Pittsburgh Steelers got the best performance out of Kenny Pickett yet in their win over the Atlanta Falcons. But rookie phenom receiver George Pickens didn't get the ball enough and demanded for more passes in his disappointment. While Pickett should find a way to get Pickens more chances, he shouldn't force those throws when he's still got Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris, Connor Heyward and Diontae Johnson if they're open. Still, it's a tricky situation to navigate for a rookie.Then, it's time for week 13 grades, stars and skulls style. Which Steelers defenders were most responsible for lapses in the run game? Which offensive players were most responsible for success? And who achieved the rare 3-star performance grade for the show? Chris Carter and Alan Saunders discuss.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to LOSTEELERSTOPICBAG@GMAIL.COMFollow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'Soul Kick' by Ceddy P, and 'Too Easy' by Nerdboy.
