Steelers-Commanders: Do Mike Williams and Preston Smith make Pittsburgh legitimate AFC contenders?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to discuss all things Steelers-Commanders for Week 10. Are the Steelers legitimate AFC contenders coming off their bye and after making two NFL trade deadline deals for Mike Williams and Preston Smith? How will the defense, with the newly acquired Smith, be able to handle the rushing threat of Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, as well as Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler on the ground? And will Russell Wilson, George Pickens and the Steelers' passing attack be able to have success against a Commanders secondary that just acquired Marshawn Lattimore from the Saints? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then later, they both give their top predictions for Week 10 and picks for Steelers-Commanders on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Northwest Stadium in Prince George's County, Maryland.
