Steelers Afternoon Drive: Which Defense is Mike Tomlin Watching?

Welcome to the Steelers Afternoon Drive, our new daily podcast featuring all the latest Steelers news and analysis.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today’s episode, we discuss what Mike Tomlin had to say in terms of injury updates to Calvin Austin III, Miles Killebrew and others. He also touched on not being worried about the playing surface at Acrisure Stadium and why we didn’t see a ton of Nick Herbig. It was more about what he didn’t say though, which was not placing a ton of blame on the play of secondary for Thursday Night’s loss to the Bengals. We also touch on if the team needs to make a significant jump to land a QB in the 2026 NFL Draft, how the marriage with Aaron Rodgers is thriving and the amount of touches Jaylen Warren needs to receive.

Let’s go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!
