Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Luke Braun of Locked on Vikings for Crossover Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense with Ben Roethlisberger needs playmakers to lean on and make life easier. Against the Minnesota Vikings, the Steelers must get rookies Najee Harris and Pat Freirmuth more involved to make up for the offense's issues. The Vikings have several injuries with Christian Darrisaw, Dalvin Cook and others who the Steelers need to take advantage of with T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward to take over the line of scrimmage. But Pittsburgh also has to watch out for Justin Jefferson as a playmaker, which may mean Minkah Fitzpatrick will have to help keep him in double coverage all night.
