Throughout much of the first half during Sunday’s game against the Colts, and even early in the second half, Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Justin Fields wasn’t all that sharp. He held onto the ball too long in the pocket on a few occasions and took some bad sacks, including one late in the first half that […]
UPDATE: Herbig has returned to the game. Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Nick Herbig suffered an injury in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, and senior director of communications Burt Lauten tweeted that Herbig is questionable to return with an ankle injury. #Steelers LB Nick Herbig suffered an ankle injury and is questionable to return to today's […]
UPDATE, 1:57 p.m: Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been ruled out for the rest of the game with the hip injury, according to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor. Anthony Richardson (hip) is OUT — Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) September 29, 2024 The Colts will lean on veteran Joe Flacco as the quarterback the rest of the game against […]
Breaking down the two sacks the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed in their 20-10 Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. 1ST AND 10, 7:48 1ST, 11 PERSONNEL, SIX BLOCK VS. FOUR-MAN RUSH Khalil Mack is a really good pass rusher, and Dan Moore Jr. learned the hard way here. Moore oversets a little bit and […]
One thing that’s been abundantly clear throughout the offseason as well as the first three games of the 2024 season is that former NFL running back and FS1 analyst LeSean “Shady” McCoy is 100%, without a doubt, a non-believer in Justin Fields. In some aspects, he could be characterized as a bona fide hater of […]
Surf’s up. The Pittsburgh Steelers are riding the wave of a 3-0 start, an elite defense, and an offense that’s getting better. So long as QB Justin Fields keeps winning and playing well, it’s hard to see the Steelers going back to Russell Wilson. The conversation is now less about the starter and more about […]
T.J. Watt might not lead the league in sacks right now, but he’s still been arguably the NFL’s best pass rusher. He’s been an absolute game-wrecker through three weeks, helping lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to an undefeated record. This week, Watt and the Steelers will try to avenge their late-season loss to the Indianapolis Colts […]
Three games, three wins with Justin Fields as the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. While head coach Mike Tomlin won’t come out and name a starting quarterback yet, Fields is letting his play do the talking, especially coming off the Steelers’ Week 3 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. In the 20-10 win over […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers head into their Week 4 matchup on the road against the Indianapolis Colts at 3-0, and nine out of the 10 NFL Network analysts who predict games expect the Steelers to move to 4-0. Kevin Patra was the lone holdout, picking the Colts to win 20-17 in a game preview video posted […]
If anyone on the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to have a good performance in Week 3, it was Broderick Jones. He had an abysmal Week 2 that saw him get benched, but fate decided to give him a second chance. Troy Fautanu suffered an injury that will likely cause him to miss most of the season, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 3-0 after taking down the previously undefeated Los Angeles Chargers, 20-10, on Sunday. QB Justin Fields had arguably his best day with the Steelers, completing 78.1 percent of his passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. He also had a rushing touchdown. This may not have been what the Steelers pictured, […]
Just as everyone expected, quarterback Justin Fields scored the Pittsburgh Steelers’ touchdown of the season at Acrisure Stadium on a 5-yard rushing touchdown that capped a 13-play, 70-yard drive to tie the game. Justin Fields scores his first rushing TD with the @Steelers! 📺: #LACvsPIT on CBS/Paramount+📱: https://t.co/waVpO8ZBqG pic.twitter.com/mHjDNMx55Y — NFL (@NFL) September 22, 2024 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are already thin at wide receiver today, with only four dressed. Now WR Van Jefferson is questionable to return to the Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers with an eye injury, per director of communications Burt Lauten on Twitter. #Steelers WR Van Jefferson has an eye injury and is questionable […]
Breaking down the two sacks the Steelers allowed in their 13-6 Week 2 win against the Denver Broncos. 1ST AND GOAL, 3:23 1ST, 14 PERSONNEL, SIX BLOCK + TE CHIP/RELEASE VS. FIVE-MAN RUSH The Broncos show blitz here and rush five, and while the Steelers are in 14 personnel, the only tight end who stays […]
Though there likely won’t be a final decision until shortly before kickoff, Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert is trending towards starting against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday afternoon. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, there is “optimism” Herbert suits up. “The hope is he goes,” Rapoport tweets. There’s optimism that #Chargers QB Justin Herbert starts Sunday […]
Spencer Anderson probably didn’t expect his season to begin the way it has, but he’s answered the call. With Isaac Seumalo hurt, Anderson has been the man at left guard, and he hasn’t looked awful. There have been ugly moments, but for the most part, Anderson has been servicaeble. That’s about as much as the […]
Through two games, the Pittsburgh Steelers have scored 31 points, and 24 of them have come from the leg of Chris Boswell. It is troubling that the offense can’t finish drives in the end zone, but it is equally impressive that Boswell has been so automatic to start the season. Arthur Smith is still getting […]
For four years with the Baltimore Ravens, current Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen and current Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins shared a locker room, getting to know each other well. On Sunday inside Acrisure Stadium, the two will go against each other, this time outside of a practice or training camp setting as […]
Mike Tomlin has built a reputation not only as a winning coach but also a wordsmith. He’s the Shakespeare of NFL coaches. Every Tomlin press conference comes with the intrigue of a potential new “Tomlinism,” which is a word invented to represent Tomlin’s colorful quotes and unique analogies. Some of his most iconic Tomlinisms include […]
In his first two regular-season games as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, veteran safety DeShon Elliott has made quite an impact. Elliott has brought a physical presence to the Steelers’ secondary and has made some key plays in the process. The seventh-year veteran, signed to a two-year, $6 million deal this offseason in free […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a hot start at 2-0. However, their offense has been anything but hot in those two wins. New offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s offense has only generated one touchdown, a 5-yard pass from QB Justin Fields to TE Darnell Washington. Otherwise, it’s been K Chris Boswell who is putting points […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have three starting caliber offensive tackles. And the Steelers intend to play all three of them. Appearing on the Steelers Nation Radio pre-game show Sunday afternoon, the PPG’s Gerry Dulac reports Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones are expected to rotate in at right tackle during Week 2’s game against the Denver Broncos. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers released their list of players who will be inactive for the team’s Week 2 Sunday afternoon regular-season game against the Denver Broncos and as expected, a few players from the visiting team will miss the contest due to an injury. After being officially ruled out for Sunday’s game on the Friday injury […]
The Week 2 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City was supposed to be a revenge game for quarterback Russell Wilson. That won’t be the case on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. though as Wilson is likely going to miss the game due to a calf injury that kept […]

While Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was originally only scheduled to miss a few weeks with a sternoclavicular injury suffered in the preseason, he will now undergo surgery for the injury. Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Brown would miss “months, not weeks,” per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. With the Pittsburgh Steelers set […]
It is looking more likely that Troy Fautanu will be making his NFL debut on the road in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. The Pittsburgh Steelers were elated that he fell to them at pick No. 20 in the 2024 NFL Draft, and now they appear to be putting him on the fast track […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their Friday injury report, the final one of the week ahead of their Week 2 game against the Denver Broncos. OG Isaac Seumalo (pec) has been ruled out and will not play this weekend. Two players end the week questionable in WR Roman Wilson (ankle) and QB Russell Wilson (calf). […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are not a perfect team, but in Week 1, their defense looked as dominant as it’s ever been. The Atlanta Falcons had no answers for T.J. Watt and the rest of the Pittsburgh pass rush. The secondary looked just as strong, recording two takeaways. However, analyst Derrik Klassen isn’t ready to buy […]
Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt is one of those NFL players coaches have to circle during game preparation. He can wreck games with his pass-rush ability and can even drop back in coverage to deflect passes or grab interceptions. After Sunday’s 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Watt has 97.5 career sacks. He’s two-and-a-half sacks […]
Where there’s a will, there’s a way for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win football games. They didn’t score a touchdown in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, but they still captured victory, 18-10. The Steelers find ways to win. Baltimore Ravens corner Marlon Humphrey knows that very well. On his Punch Line Podcast, Humphrey discussed […]
J.J. Watt is on Team T.J. Watt. But great players can face greater scrutiny. And he isn’t surprised T.J. came out on the wrong end of an offsides call Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Weighing in on the questionable call, J.J. isn’t surprised to see the refs rule against T.J. “Truthfully, watching it live and […]
Justin Fields was the new addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers who had the most eyes on him in Week 1, but secondary players DeShon Elliott and Donte Jackson provided a huge impact as well. Both players had an interception, helping to catapult the Steelers to an 18-10 victory in Atlanta. During his press conference on […]Justin Fields played fine against the Atlanta Falcons in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season opener. He completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 156 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. It wasn’t anything special, but it got the job done in an 18-10 Steelers win. Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky has been a Justin Fields proponent […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t look perfect in their 18-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons, but they did enough to secure victory. For the most part, their offensive game plan seemed fine, even if it didn’t produce touchdowns. However, perhaps their most critical mistake of the day was going for it on fourth down in the […]
Steelers Nation is already showing its impact on the 2024 regular season. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Atlanta Falcons practiced their silent count throughout the week in anticipation of needing it during Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I see a lot of these around the stadium today,” Garafolo said, holding up and […]
One of the most underrated and underappreciated additions by the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason is already making an impact. Veteran safety DeShon Elliott, who signed a two-year deal in free agency, created a big splash for the Steelers on the second drive of the game, recording a diving interception of Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins, giving […]
The Steelers kept eight defensive linemen on their initial 53-man roster. That stirred a lot of conversation within Steelers Nation since they normally have kept six on the roster in the past. As I was drafting my annual Former Steelers Around the NFL article, I noticed that there was no standard number of players assigned […]
One reason the second half of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule this year looks so tough is that all their divisional games are crammed in there. Those AFC North games are always brutal, especially against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens and Steelers have one of the greatest rivalries in football, and their relationship is a complicated […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers might need every second available before Sunday’s kickoff to reach a long-term deal with TE Pat Freiermuth. But the front office is making an effort to get a contract done before taking on the Atlanta Falcons. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Brooke Pryor, talks are “progressing” in a deal with Freiermuth to […]
There has been quite a bit of talk — both positive and negative — about the Pittsburgh Steelers throughout the offseason. In just a few short days, all that talk will go away. It’ll be about action. That’s what veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts is looking forward to most ahead of the season-opener against the Atlanta […]
With the Cameron Heyward contract extension now filed by the Pittsburgh Steelers and the franchise icon, keeping the team captain and face of the franchise in the Steel City for three more years, leaving him as a one-helmet guy for his career, the attention shifts elsewhere for the Steelers and another potential long-term extension. That […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens have arguably the fiercest rivalry in the NFL. Their games may not be as bloody as they once were, but they’re just as physical. This year, it seems that intensity could go up a notch or two. Ravens corner Marlon Humphrey recently said on his podcast that current […]
Both overlooked coming out of college, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins have forged their own paths as quarterbacks in the NFL. Wilson was a third-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks while Kirk Cousins was a fourth-round pick to the (then) Washington Redskins. Cousins wasn’t even the first quarterback selected by his team that year with […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ passing offense was a disaster in 2023, despite them giving three different quarterbacks a starting shot. The team threw for just 13 touchdowns, second least in the league. When you struggle that much, it can feel hard to go any lower, and that’s a bit of a morbid point in the Steelers’ […]
On the last practice before the long weekend, OG Isaac Seumalo suffered a pectoral injury. Fortunately he avoided anything major, but the ramifications could have been pretty significant for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line had he missed the entire season. Steelers insider Gerry Dulac believes that it could have resulted in first-round OT Troy Fautanu […]Ryan Clark had the uniform. He had the starting spot. He had the contract. But it wasn’t until he laid out for one specific hit that he trul...
