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.

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 […]T.J. Watt is the family’s new sack leader. After recording his 115th career sack Sunday against the Chicago Bears, Watt surpassed J.J. Watt ...
