Steelers Can't Rely on 'Playoff' Lamar Jackson as a Thing | Cam Heyward, D-Line Key to Playoff Upset

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Kevin Oestreicher of Locked on Ravens for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have beaten the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson several times, but they shouldn't count on the 'playoff'Jackson narrative to save them Saturday. Christopher Carter and Kevin Oestreicher talk about how that narrative's been overblown for years, and why the Steelers must still bring their A-game to stop Jackson and Derrick Henry. 

But is the key to doing that on Cam Heyward and the Steelers' defensive line? That's a factor that didn't work in the Steelers' favor the last time, but has several times in his rivalry. If they can control the interior, it could let T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith have a strong game. 

Finally, what parts of the Steelers' team scares the Ravens the most? Kevin gives his thoughts on how George Pickens could make things different for Russell Wilson, and how the Steelers' pass rush could play the biggest factor of all.
