November 11, 2024 Paul Zeise Live: Was Steelers' defense good or bad vs. Commanders? Did Pitt ruin its season?
Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news. Is the Steelers' defense a concern after lapses in the secondary from guys including Joey Porter Jr. and Minkah Fitzpatrick in NFL Week 10 against the Washington Commanders? Or was the pass rush success from T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Preston Smith and others encouraging? What more can we expect from the Russell Wilson and Mike Williams connection after their game-winning touchdown? And is Jaylen Warren healthy enough to be a major threat in the backfield again alongside Najee Harris? Paul tackles those topics, then reacts to a busy college football weekend that included a costly loss for Pat Narduzzi and Pitt, plus a white out win for James Franklin's top-five Penn State squad.
