The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 9 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Per the team’s Friday release, three players have been ruled out: WR Scotty Miller (finger), CB Cory Trice Jr. (hamstring/knee), and SS Jabrill Peppers (quad). Four players are questionable, including two with illnesses: SS Chuck Clark […]
The Baltimore Ravens have been fined $100,000 for incorrectly reporting QB Lamar Jackson’s participation status ahead of the team’s Week 8 game against the Chicago Bears. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL levied the heavy fine on the organization for designating Jackson a full Friday participant instead of limited, misrepresenting his status. Sources: the NFL […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has fallen short of expectations. At this point, being historic is off the table, unless it wants to be historically awful. The talent that group has makes its struggles even more surprising. It could be in for another rough outing this week against the Indianapolis Colts, who have the No. 1 […]
It can be seen and felt. The vibes in Pittsburgh are at a season low. It wasn’t long ago the Steelers seemed in firm control of the AFC North with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals potentially cementing the division before the halfway mark of the season. Now, the Steelers are trying to prevent the […]
Another week, another ugly Pittsburgh Steelers loss in which their defense couldn’t stop anybody. After a busy offseason in which the Steelers heavily invested in that side of the football via free agency and trades, things have spiraled out of control for them defensively. There’s no pass rush, the turnovers have dried up, and coverage […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly in the trade market for a wide receiver to give 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is playing some good football, another weapon. Turns out, they might not need another weapon at all. They just need to utilize one of the guys on their roster just a bit more. That would […]
Sunday perfectly sums up Myles Garrett’s NFL career. A great individual player with all the accolades anyone could want. A terrible franchise going nowhere. Even by Garrett’s high standards, he put in a career day in Week 8 against the New England Patriots. Garrett finished with five sacks, giving him 112.5 for his career and […]
Aaron Rodgers may be saying all the right things about his motivations against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, but Tom Brady isn’t buying it. And who would know better than Brady, who faced a similar situation against the New England Patriots late in his career? “It is emotional when you play the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense hasn’t met expectations this season. It was supposed to be one of the best units in the league, but instead, it’s struggled to find consistency. That was evident in their game last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, who almost put up 500 total yards of offense against the Steelers. Their secondary […]
Ahead of the Sunday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, the Green Bay Packers are getting a major boost offensively. Veteran wide receiver Christian Watson, who has missed the entire season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season, has been activated from the Reserve/Physically Unable To Perform list and […]
Over the past few weeks, the Steelers’ offensive line has been getting its footing. The unit that’s packed with young, up-and-coming talent has been playing more cohesively of late, and it has gotten the attention of former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden. More specifically, the young duo of Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick. […]
Two historic franchises, Sunday Night Football in late October on the North Shore, and some stars lining up against each other. What a great matchup we have in store in Week 8 between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. The big storyline is Aaron Rodgers taking on his former team in the Packers […]
If the Pittsburgh Steelers have their sights set on trading for New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, they could be severely disappointed. NFL insider Albert Breer predicted that not only will Olave remain with his current team but receive a long-term deal to keep him in New Orleans for the foreseeable future. “I think you […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers had some high expectations defensively ahead of the season. They’ve shown some quality play at times, but it’s hard to feel like they’ve lived up to that preseason hype overall. Former NFL linebacker Bart Scott thinks that age has something to do with that. “Well, it’s like grumpy old men,” Scott said […]
Remember in the months leading up to the season when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line was the single biggest concern on the roster? Questions about keeping Aaron Rodgers upright and sparking the run game dominated the conversation. That has quietly gone away after a rocky start to the season, and the young group deserves a […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers faced the all-white uniformed Cincinnati Bengals a week ago on Thursday Night Football, and they will do the same this week against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Packers announced their white out on X this afternoon. PittsBRRRRgh 🔜 pic.twitter.com/BHJXiXyKIB — Green Bay Packers (@packers) October 22, 2025 Away […]
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson seems to be having buyer’s, and seller’s, remorse. After the Jets swapped out Aaron Rodgers for Justin Fields, Johnson has watched his franchise go from bad to worse. The NFL’s only winless team now has quarterback uncertainty after first-year head coach Aaron Glenn benched Fields midway through Sunday’s loss […]
Though things might not have gone all that well in the Week 7 loss on the road to the Cincinnati Bengals, there is at least one positive the Pittsburgh Steelers can take away from that loss on a short week — the run game continues to get better. In the loss to the Bengals, the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers could be getting back a starting receiver for a key Sunday night game against the Green Bay Packers. Sidelined the last two games due to a shoulder injury, WR Calvin Austin III expressed optimism that he’ll return for Week 8. “Hopefully!” he told reporters Monday, as shared by the Trib’s Chris Adamski. […]
The national media hasn’t been kind to the Pittsburgh Steelers following their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Playing against a 40-year-old Joe Flacco, the league’s highest-paid defense had no answers and surrendered33 points. Since and the sports media world is starting to take its licks on the once-surprising, overperforming Steelers. On SportsCenter, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big splash this summer, sending Minkah Fitzpatrick packing and acquiring Jalen Ramsey. Being one of the best cornerbacks in recent memory, that move of course brought some high expectations for the defense as a whole, with Ramsey playing a Swiss army knife type of role. Before the season began, former […]
Before the season began, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense touted themselves as being one of the best units in the league. Through six games, they’ve been anything but that. Their Week 7 showing against the Bengals was probably the worst of the season. At this point, Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo thinks they’re running out of […]
In 2023, the Steelers drafted Joey Porter Jr. with hopes he could develop into their next lockdown cornerback. He showed glimpses in his rookie year, but some struggles were apparent in Year 2. Heading into his third year, the Steelers brought in as much veteran help as he could ask for. Jalen Ramsey and Darius […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers want to play a specific style of football, one built on running the football, controlling the clock and really beating up on opponents. The only problem is they haven’t been able to consistently play that way early in the season. For one night, at least, though, the Steelers’ ground game got rolling […]
My final Pittsburgh Steelers thoughts as the team travels to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. 1. SEEING A FAMILIAR FACE When the Bengals offense takes the field, a player known as “Joe Cool” will be under center, but not the one that was expected back in August. The Bengals have been without starting QB […]
Six weeks into the season the Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting pretty. They’re 4-1 with the second-best record in the AFC. And the rest of their division is in bad shape. Injuries have seriously hurt both the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens, leaving the Steelers with a clear path to the playoffs. As a result, Chris […]
When it comes to evaluating a player, everyone has their own personal preferences. Take Aaron Rodgers for example. Just by watching the games, it’s hard to be unhappy with the way he’s led the Steelers’ offense. It hasn’t been easy at times, but he’s limited mistakes, played within the offense and led the team to […]
This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play another divisional game Thursday night, this time against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Cleveland Browns look like the worst team in the AFC North, the Bengals might not be far behind them. Without Joe Burrow, they’ve looked awful, going winless in their last four games. However, they tried […]
Fresh off a hard-fought win over the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers have to turn around on a short week and prepare for another AFC North battle, this time on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. Though the Bengals are reeling and are relying on the recently acquired 40-year-old Joe Flacco to keep them afloat, […]
After all the talk leading up to the AFC North opener against the Cleveland Browns about tight end usage, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw a tight end find the end zone since Darnell Washington’s 2-point conversion against Seattle. Nobody expected it to be Connor Heyward, though. Heyward hauled in a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Aaron […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first AFC North game has lived up to its expectations of being a rock fight. Chris Boswell picked up all 9 of the Steelers’ points while the Browns snuck in a field goal of their own before halftime. Overall, the Steelers’ defense has dominated the day. The offense has done some nice […]
UPDATE: The team quickly ruled Killebrew out for the rest of the game. That’s not a good sign for the potential severity of the injury. Steelers senior director of communication Burt Lauten tweeted that Killebrew is out for the remainder of the game. #Steelers S Miles Killebrew suffered a knee injury and is OUT for the […]
As we do every week to prepare you for the upcoming game, we give you our X-factor of the week. Sometimes it’s a player, unit, concept, or scheme. Here’s our Pittsburgh Steelers X-factor for the game against the Cleveland Browns. STEELERS VS BROWNS X FACTOR: WR DK METCALF The first major move the Steelers made […]
When Jerome Bettis came to Pittsburgh in 1996, it was a fresh start, the beginning of a new chapter in a city known for its toughness and blue-collar grit. Bettis wasn’t an NFL rookie, but he was just starting his journey with the Steelers. And the offseason after he rushed for 1,431 yards but injured […]
Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns pits plenty of former teammates against each other. College allegiances turned NFL foe. DL Derrick Harmon and QB Dillon Gabriel are a well-known one, teammates last season at Oregon. EDGE Jack Sawyer and RB Quinshon Judkins are another, together at Ohio State and now squaring off […]
When it came to the Cleveland Browns making the Thursday night cornerback swap that sent Greg Newsome II to Jacksonville and brought in Tyson Campbell, Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz found out after the fact. Speaking to reporters Thursday, he sure didn’t sound thrilled about the move and made clear it wasn’t his idea to […]
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is the play caller when it comes to the Browns’ offense. That doesn’t mean that first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees doesn’t feel the pressure when game planning for upcoming opponents. And he is certainly feeling the pressure when looking at the Steelers’ defense ahead of Sunday’s matchup. Perhaps a […]
When this season began the AFC North looked like one of the best divisions in football. Unfortunately, the division hasn’t lived up to those expectations. The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens both looked like playoff contenders, but they’ve disappointed so far. Injuries have seriously hurt both of them. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a […]
In recent years, many in the media have been skeptical of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Often with good reason. A team missing a franchise quarterback. An offense that often struggled to score. Years that ended with the same results, competitive regular seasons followed by quick playoff exits. A 3-1 start has several singing a more optimistic […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers could need reinforcements at wide receiver following Calvin Austin III’s recent injury—and even when he’s healthy, some still think it’s a concern. Odell Beckham Jr. is available and still has the Steelers on his radar as he seeks to continue his NFL career. “I don’t know if this is even a pitch, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost an important player on either side of the ball in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. Jalen Ramsey exited the game with a hamstring injury and Calvin Austin III left the game with what appeared to be a shoulder issue. The bye week gave each extra time to heal, but it’s […]
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith threw his 8th and 9th interceptions in a 40-6 blowout loss against the Indianapolis Colts, dropping the Raiders to 1-4 on the season. With Smith struggling and the Las Vegas offense struggling to do much of anything, Raiders fans are calling for former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett to […]
When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected QB Josh Dobbs in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, they had an entrenched starter in Ben Roethlisberger. While Roethlisberger was nearing the end of his career, there wasn’t much of an expectation for Dobbs to become Roethlisberger’s successor, especially after the team drafted Mason Rudolph in 2018. […]
Despite being tied for the third-most sacks in the NFL, the Steelers only have one player in PFF’s pass rusher rankings. Ahead of Week 5, PFF released its NFL pass-rusher rankings. Surprisingly, neither of the team’s top two leaders in sacks made the list. Those being Nick Herbig and T.J. Watt. Instead, Cameron Heyward checked […]
From BLESTO to Bradshaw, a new Steelers book has you covered from the years leading up to and including the one in which Pittsburgh won the first of its four Lombardi Trophies in the 1970s. Steve Massey constructs how the Steelers built a dynasty brick by brick in “Revolution: The Transformation of the Pittsburgh Steelers […]
Through the first four weeks of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place of the AFC North. Not many people expected them to compete for the division crown, but they’re in the driver’s seat right now. However, some don’t believe that they’ll be able to keep this up. Former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn […]
As the Pittsburgh Steelers roll into their bye week with a 3-1 record, inside linebackers coach Scott McCurley is quick to point out the unsung heroes keeping the position group humming. In team-provided audio from his October 1st media availability, McCurley singled out veteran Ja’Whaun Bentley for his intangible contributions. “His mentality, the way he […]
Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best players for the Pittsburgh Steelers to start this season. While he hasn’t been perfect, he’s given them solid quarterback play, which they’ve been desperately trying to find for years. In each of their wins, Rodgers has made big plays in key moments. At 41 years old, he […]
Oct. 3 – Ep. 74: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I start by recapping the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. They discuss key moments from the game including Payton Wilson’s heroic tackle, DK Metcalf’s big day, Aaron Rodgers’ quick release and more. They also discuss how […]
Former Baltimore Ravens DL Arthur Jones has died. He was 39. The Ravens confirmed the news Friday afternoon, issuing this statement to Twitter/X. “Arthur’s presence was a gift to everyone he encountered.
