Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tyler Rowland of the Locked on Titans podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face a rookie quarterback in Will Levis who threw four touchdown passes in his debut, three of them to DeAndre Hopkins. Are they ready to stop them? T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith face a mediocre offensive line, and they could be the difference-makers.

But for Kenny Pickett and the Steelers' offense, they'll face a Tennessee Titans defense led by Jefferey Simmons and a tough defensive front. But could the key to opening up the offense be George Pickens' combat catch ability against a shaky secondary?
