For years, the national media have wondered if Mike Tomlin would become one of their own. Still one of the most popular and quotable coaches in football, speculation is increasing over the idea of Tomlin exiting coaching to enter broadcasting. Even if that speculation is, naturally, a media creation. And their motives should be in […]
Leading up to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, the expectation was that second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson would have a bigger opportunity with DK Metcalf out because of a suspension. Then Wilson played just nine snaps on a day in which the Steelers managed just two field goals in a […]
With DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III out in Week 17, it would be reasonable to expect a third-round pick in his second season to be a significant part of the game plan at wide receiver, right? That did not become a reality for Roman Wilson against the Cleveland Browns despite Mike Tomlin talking him […]
No one knows when Aaron Rodgers will hang up his cleats. But an ESPN panel has a pretty good guess. If the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season ends Sunday night against Baltimore, so will Rodgers’ Hall of Fame career. Even in a world of “embrace debate,” a group of ESPN analysts all sang the same tune. Before […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a rather ugly showing Sunday at Huntington Bank Field in a 13-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, at least offensively. The Steelers couldn’t do much of anything offensively, and it cost them in a major way. But what didn’t cost the Steelers on Sunday was the defense and the tackling. Pittsburgh […]
If Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers complete their collapse by falling to the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night, calls for Tomlin’s firing will be as fierce as ever. The swell of animosity against him will return in full force, even stronger than it was after the Buffalo Bills loss. And though unlikely, Art Rooney II […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers played the Cleveland Browns on Sunday for the second time this and went home with a brutal 13-6 loss. The Browns got the ball first, and it didn’t take them long to move down the field. Shedeur Sanders quickly found Brenden Bates for 19 yards. A 10-yard pass to Jerry Jeudy and […]
UPDATE: Washington has been downgraded and ruled out for the rest of the game, per Lauten. UPDATE: Washington (forearm) has been downgraded to OUT for the rest of today's game. — Burt Lauten (@SteelersPRBurt) December 28, 2025 Our original story is below. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington was injured in the team’s Week 17 matchup […]
Week to week, it’s been difficult to predict how the Pittsburgh Steelers defense would fare in 2025 but one thing seems to be increasingly clear: If Pittsburgh can stop the run, they have a good chance at controlling the game and securing victory. Many have pointed out the schematic issues, including some in the locker […]
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 against the Cleveland Browns. STEELERS VS BROWNS X FACTOR: OLB JACK SAWYER For the first time in his NFL career, […]
Dylan Cook’s journey to playing starting left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been a long one. With two starts under his belt, the former quarterback-turned offensive tackle is receiving praise for his performance. Former Steelers’ offensive lineman Trai Essex is impressed with what he has seen from Cook and said this week on the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have updated the injury status of two players ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, per Burt Lauten on X. OG Isaac Suemalo was downgraded to out, while DB Jalen Ramsey was upgraded to have no injury designation. The #Steelers are downgrading G Isaac Seumalo (tricep) to OUT for Sunday's game […]
Season 16, Episode 69 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Cleveland Browns on the road on Sunday afternoon. We open this show by going over the latest regarding the […]
Throughout his football career, spanning from college to his time now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, wide receiver and special teams ace Ben Skowronek has been around quite a bit of history. He played at Notre Dame, where the football tradition and history speak for themselves. He also won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles […]
Making the Pro Bowl is a major accomplishment only a tiny fraction of NFL players have ever achieved. An acknowledgment of individual success in a team sport. But true to form for his position and for the person, Ben Skowronek is deflecting credit. “It’s a team award. We’ve had a pretty good unit this year,” […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed cornerback Tre Flowers to the 53-man roster, the team announced Thursday. Flowers will add cornerback depth while fill the roster spot left by WR DK Metcalf, who was placed on the Reserve/Suspended list on Tuesday to serve his two-game suspension following his fan altercation last Sunday. He will wear No. […]
The race to win the AFC North is almost wrapped up. There are only two weeks left in the regular season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers have a solid grasp on first place. They can even clinch the division title if the Baltimore Ravens don’t beat the Green Bay Packers this week. In that scenario, they […]
Cam Heyward can understand the merit of DK Metcalf’s suspension. While he noted fan behavior must improve, Metcalf’s actions can’t happen, and he’ll pay the price in missing the next two games. While Metcalf is away from the field, Heyward doesn’t think he should be away from the team. Sharing his thoughts on an arguably […]
Don’t look now, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have won three games in a row. That ugly night in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium in which boos and chants for head coach Mike Tomlin to be fired filled the air feels like a lifetime ago. The Steelers went into Detroit on Sunday […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been rolling recently, but their season isn’t over yet. They still need to lock up the AFC North crown and a playoff spot. They can do that if they beat the Cleveland Browns this week. While the Browns haven’t been good this year, they shouldn’t be underestimated. Myles Garrett in particular […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers could clinch the AFC North before they wake up on Sunday for their matchup with the Cleveland Browns since a Baltimore Ravens loss or tie to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night would give the Steelers the AFC North title. During his weekly press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin said a […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without star wide receiver DK Metcalf moving forward, whether that’s two games after his suspension or one game. That might be a big blow to the Steelers’ offense overall, but Metcalf’s absence opens an opportunity for others. One such player that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin highlighted Tuesday during his […]
A weekly series that captures the forgotten and hidden plays that led to the Pittsburgh Steelers winning or losing. Not the touchdowns, turnovers, or plays that will make the Monday morning highlights – the little ones that, looking back, played a key role in the outcome. I’ll start with a hidden moment that helped the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers released their list of inactive players for their Week 16 Sunday afternoon game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. As expected, several players on the visiting team will miss the Week 16 contest due to injuries. After being ruled out for the Lions game on the Friday injury report OLB T.J. […]
Cleveland Browns rookie RB Quinshon Judkins suffered a potentially serious right leg injury in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, one week before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Judkins suffered the injury late in the first half, pounding the ground in pain after being tackled after receiving a swing pass from fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders. […]
When you think of future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, you think of a quarterback that is a gunslinger, one that pushes the ball down the field, can make all of the throws under the sun, and can extend plays with his legs and create magic after the snap. With the Pittsburgh Steelers this […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor played twelve seasons in the black and gold and won two Super Bowls. He had a great career going from a late-round pick to a key starter on multiple Super Bowl-winning teams. But he’s quick to credit the mentorship from one of his unheralded teammates for his success. Appearing […]
Coming out of the Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins, the big story for the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn’t the second straight great performance from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, or the dominant defensive display the Black and Gold had against the explosive Miami offense. Instead, it was all about the performance from left tackle Dylan Cook, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out third-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig for Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury suffered in the Week 15 Monday Night Football win over the Miami Dolphins. Steelers Senior Director of Communications Burt Lauten posted the update on Herbig on X Saturday […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long list of notable injuries, but we at least saw positive signs of improvement with two key starters returning to practice Friday. OLB Nick Herbig (hamstring) and C Zach Frazier (triceps) are both back in uniform after missing practice throughout the week. Here is Herbig going through individual drills with […]
It looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers will once again be without T.J. Watt this week. That’s bad on its own, but Nick Herbig could also miss Week 16. That would leave the Steelers very shorthanded at edge rusher. Rookie Jack Sawyer would start in that scenario. The Steelers are playing the Detroit Lions, who have […]
Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Pat Meyer is one of the fan base’s favorite targets. The Steelers hired Meyer in February 2022, and it’s fair to say fans haven’t been all that thrilled since. The list of failures, both real and perceived, on the Steelers’ offensive line is long. Meyer’s detractors can point to the […]
Kenneth Gainwell is having the best year of his career. He’ll get paid like it this offseason. And though it’s quarterback Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football and Pittsburgh’s young offensive line paving the way up front, Gainwell credits Arthur Smith for giving him the chance in the first place. “Arthur Smith is a very […]
With the weather in their favor and needing another strong statement performance, this time in front of the home fans on the North Shore, the Pittsburgh Steelers dominated throughout Monday night’s 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins, rolling to a win that wasn’t anywhere as close as the final score indicated. Pittsburgh played a physical […]
Throughout the 2025 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have not been afraid to use multiple tight ends at once. The wealth has been spread around at the position, mostly between an emerging Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith’s familiarity with Arthur Smith. Then, of course, Pat Freiermuth has had to fight for his own opportunities as well. […]
The Miami Dolphins made multiple roster moves ahead of their Week 15 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. The team signed LB Quinton Bell to the active roster off the practice squad and elevated OT Kion Smith off the practice squad. In a corresponding move, the team waived LB Andre Carter II. The team announced […]

This isn’t Mike Tomlin’s first rodeo in terms of seeing his name come under fire. Calls for his job started to get louder after the Steelers got run over in a lopsided loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite the bullets flying, Tomlin responded by leading the Steelers to an AFC North win over the Ravens […]
With the Pittsburgh Steelers not playing their Week 15 game until Monday night, we’ll have a chance to sit back and watch all of the Sunday NFL games without any additional stress or worries. Several of us will be doing some fantasy football scoreboard-watching today, and we invite everyone to watch along and chime in […]
As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare to host the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, there are some storylines regarding potential revenge games. Most of them revolve around Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jalen Ramsey. They’ll never admit it, but given the impact they had for their respective former teams, there will be some extra motivation on both sides. […]
After missing almost all of his rookie season due to injury, right tackle Troy Fautanu is showing why the Pittsburgh Steelers invested a first-round pick in him with his play this season. Fautanu is a starter on a young offensive line unit that includes two other picks from his 2024 draft class, and he credits […]
Season 16, Episode 62 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the latest concerning Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt, who is dealing with a lung issue that could prevent him from playing Monday night against the Miami Dolphins. Alex […]
For Ryan Clark, Mike Tomlin will remain the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach until he hangs up his whistle. Though Clark himself has called for Tomlin to move on, he predicts Tomlin to stay in Pittsburgh until the very end. For better or worse. “I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again here on Rich Eisen […]
In a bumpy year for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, Teryl Austin is pulling out all the stops to get the team over the finish line. Speaking to reporters Thursday, Austin noted a new wrinkle he’s added to the defense that hadn’t existed in his time with the Steelers. As shared by the Trib’s Chris Adamski, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t complete a single pass that traveled 20 or more air yards in November. But on the very first play against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, they shattered that streak with a 52-yard bomb from Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf. Then, Rodgers unleashed a few more of those deeper throws the rest of […]
Season 16, Episode 61 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about QB Philip Rivers making a comeback with the Indianapolis Colts at the age of 44. We discuss how we think Rivers’ comeback might go and whether we are […]
Maybe it’s coincidence. But 24 hours after Baltimore Ravens HC John Harbaugh noted he had a lengthy conversation with the NFL’s New York office over several controversial calls in Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin says he has no desire to get on the phone to talk about spilled milk. “I’ve kind of […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers held on late and knocked off the Baltimore Ravens, 27-22, on Sunday. OLB Alex Highsmith ended the game with a sack of Ravens QB Lamar Jackson as the clock run out. But for him, he and his teammates rallied around Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers. And Rodgers delivered. He ran for a touchdown […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have tied a dubious franchise record following the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The present-day Steelers have tied the team’s longest streak scoring no more than seven points in the opening frame of a regular-season game, going their last 63 games without eclipsing a touchdown. It ties the […]
UPDATE: Benton has returned to the game with his ankle taped. Our original story is below. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pittsburgh Steelers DL Keeanu Benton suffered an injury less than a minute into the team’s Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
