Did the Steelers find their identity under Mike McCarthy against the Bengals? Defense surviving?

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette sports reporters Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo break down the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.

What changed between the putrid Week 2 offensive showing against the New England Patriots and Sunday's explosive performance? Have the Steelers found their offensive identity under new coach Mike McCarthy? Or was this just a flash in the pan?

And on the defensive side of the ball, what positives can we take away? Has anyone stepped up in Joey Porter Jr.'s absence? And how much longer can they survive without him? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
