Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.

Patrick Queen is coming off of one of his worst games in Pittsburgh. Can he bounce back and shut down Kraft? Alan breaks it down.
