Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jeff Lloyd of Locked on Browns for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' pass rush allowed Jameis Winston to guide the Cleveland Browns to victory two weeks ago. Now, with Alex Highsmith back, that defense must show improvement. Christopher Carter talks with Jeff Lloyd about what Winston has done right for the Browns and how the Steelers can better counter how Kevin Stefanski limits T.J. Watt and how Winston avoided their pass rush two games ago. 

Also, Chris and Jeff talk about what's gotten Russell Wilson going for the Steelers' offense, and whether that can stand up to the Browns' aggressive defensive tactics.
