PITTSBURGH — There was a lot that went wrong for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 season that came to an abrupt end on home turf on Monday night in a 30-6 beat-down at the hands of the Houston Texans.
Many, many things.
The Steelers started the season with Darius Slay and Juan Thornhill as starting members of their secondary. They later cut both of them. They brought in Slay and Jalen Ramsey to play cornerback, thinking they could play man-to-man defense against some of the best offenses in the league. Special teamer James Pierre turned out to be their...

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers strongly backed his head coach Mike Tomlin after Monday night’s 30-6 playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Rodgers thinks it’s a joke that people are calling for Tomlin’s job.
“When I first got in the league, there wouldn’t be conversation about whether those guys were on the hot seat,” Rodgers said, who added his former Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur to the conversation. “But the way that the league is covered now and the way that there’s snap decisions and the validity given to the Twitter experts and all the experts...
PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not shed much light when asked if he’ll return to Steelers in 2026 after Monday night’s season-ending loss to the Houston Texans.
“No, I mean, I’m not going to make any emotional decisions,” Rodgers said when asked if Monday night’s loss would affect his decision on next year. “Disappointed obviously. Such a fun year. A lot of adversity but a lot of fun. Been a great year overall in my life in the last year, and this is a really good part of that, coming here and being a part of this...

Unless Aaron Rodgers gets the itch to play one more season with the team that nearly got him killed against the Houston Texans, the Pittsburgh Steelers appear headed for yet another stopgap solution at quarterback — a familiar place for a franchise still searching for its long-term answer at the position. How did the Steelers […]

With the 2025 season now over for the Pittsburgh Steelers it’s time to look ahead. After last year’s first round exit we were promised “changes” and very few, if any, actually made. I would love to be able to tell you that I have inside information as to what direction the franchise is headed this offseason but very few are given such knowledge. Therefore, here are three things that could or should happen.
I’ve been pretty clear with my feelings towards Mike Tomlin in recent years. I appreciate him. He’s a good coach, but...
