Steelers-Jets reaction: Does Russell Wilson make this team a contender? Are they finally balanced?

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

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to break down an NFL Week 7 victory against the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium. Does QB Russell Wilson's impressive night passing the ball -- primarily to George Pickens -- make the team a serious contender in the AFC with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and others? How much credit does coach Mike Tomlin deserve for making the move to Wilson despite Justin Fields' 4-2 start? And what was Wilson able to do different than Fields in OC Arthur Smith's offense?

Our duo tackles those questions and also reacts to a strong performance by the defense that included two interceptions from CB Beanie Bishop and a busy night for the pass rush with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Then later, the guys tackle the question of how balanced this team can be now that the offense appears to have found some chemistry.
