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 […]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...
