PITTSBURGH — DK Metcalf couldn’t get on the field during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ last two games. The star receiver came dangerously close to not seeing any action until next season kicks off.
Shortly after his team’s 26-24 season-extending win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, Metcalf sent a GIF of former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters’ exchange with reporters to illustrate his feelings of being back in the mix.
Before the 2018 NFC Championship game, Peters was asked to evaluate his team’s season.
“I think,” Peters said before leaning closer to the podium’s microphone, pausing and looking back...
Tyler Loop spent his rookie season waiting for the moment every kicker dreams about — a chance to win the game with one swing of his leg. On Sunday night in Pittsburgh that moment finally arrived. Unfortunately for Loop and the Baltimore Ravens, it ended in heartbreak.
With the AFC North title and a playoff spot on the line, Baltimore fell 26-24 dramatically to the Pittsburgh Steelers after Loop pushed a 44-yard field goal wide right as time expired. The miss ended the Ravens’ season in a dramatic, winner-take-all showdown and sent Pittsburgh to the postseason.
Following the game, Loop...

PITTSBURGH — When the Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC North in dramatic fashion over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, linebacker T.J. Watt wasn’t trying to hang around.
Watt won the division for the third time in his career, collected his divisional champs hat and t-shirt, and was ready to get out of the locker room as soon as possible for his post-game press conference.
“Cigar smoke everywhere, man,” he said. “I was trying to get out of there as quickly as possible.”
His teammates probably understood. The Steelers’ star linebacker played his first game back on Sunday night, just 25...

The Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 season ended in the most horrifying, devastating fashion: a missed 44-yard field goal by rookie kicker Tyler Loop.
The Ravens entered Week 18 needing a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the AFC North and make the postseason. Despite barely resembling a playoff team for much of the season, they still had the chance to be one. Getting in the dance with Lamar Jackson under center would still give them an outside shot at a Lombardi Trophy.
But, as they have the entire year, the Ravens did not play like a team ready to make...

The Carolina Panthers are fully through the looking glass now. Despite being 1-3 after their bye week and 8-9 overall on the season, they have somehow managed to win the NFC South and “earn” a home playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. Let’s take a look at some rough odds:
Rams: -10.5 (+100)
Panthers: +10.5 (-122)
46.5 (-110/-110)
Rams: -590
Panthers: +430
These are the longest odds in the playoffs by a mile and a half. The Houston Texans are the next closest road favorites at -3.5 over the Pittsburgh...

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers might have gotten a break from the officials — in addition to a little help from above — as Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop missed a potential game-winning field goal as time expired on what became a 26-24 Steelers win on Sunday night at Acrisure Stadium.
The Steelers sent the house to try to block Loop’s 44-yard field goal attempt with two seconds left on the clock, including sending wide receiver Ben Skowronek through the A gap.
Skowronek tried to jump over left guard Emery Jones in order to block the kick — which...
It’s fair to say neither the Pittsburgh Steelers nor the Baltimore Ravens had quality special teams outings in Sunday night’s finale. Chris Boswell missed an extra point that would’ve made him the focus had the Steelers lost. But Ravens rookie kicker Tyler Loop was responsible for the final missed kick, one that made Pittsburgh a […]

PITTSBURGH — It’s hard to think that the crowd at Acrisure Stadium had turned on the Pittsburgh Steelers just two months ago.
Sunday night’s 26-24, thrill-ride win over the Baltimore Ravens was an encapsulation of the season Mike Tomlin’s team has had. Frustration had reared its head plenty throughout the schedule, never more than when boos rained down and chants called for the longtime leader’s job during a decisive loss to the Buffalo Bills in November.
But even as the Steelers’ grip on the division crown loosened, setting up a loser-goes-to-Cancún matchup with their hated rival, neither the team nor...
Even in a year where both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have felt lethargic through stretches, this AFC North rivalry delivered an instant classic under the lights. With multiple fourth-quarter lead changes, heroic moments from each Hall of Fame quarterback, and some special teams gaffes for good measure, this game had a little bit of everything. But it was Mike Tomlin’s club who came away with a 26-24 victory in the end and, as a result, took home the division title.
The Steelers will host the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football in the Wild Card round as they...
Aaron Rodgers is headed back to the NFL playoffs for the first time since the 2021 season, and the moment clearly hit home. Following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ dramatic 26-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, the 42-year-old field general offered a rare, candid glimpse into what the achievement meant to him after a winding final chapter to his career.
Rodgers was asked postgame about watching Baltimore’s final possession a nerve-racking sequence that ultimately ended with rookie kicker Tyler Loop missing a potential game-winning 44-yard field goal as time expired. His response captured both the tension of the moment...
