Player: P Corliss Waitman Stock Value: Down Reasoning: While many factors contributed to the Steelers’ loss, Corliss Waitman’s poor punting was the most consistent problem. He punted three times, officially, having had to redo his first punt. Every single one of his punts were bad, to the point where they generated memes recalling Pressey Harvin […]

The Steelers only revealed just before the game that Mason Rudolph would start, not Aaron Rodgers, and even he found out a day earlier. Apparently, even the rest of the roster didn’t know who would start until right before the game. But they knew both were possibilities, and they worked with Rudolph all week. And […]

The Steelers are now 1-13 all-time in Chicago following Sunday’s 31-28 loss to the Bears. As always, there are plenty of takeaways to be had.
Outside of an early Mason Rudolph interception, the Steelers offense was largely efficient in the first half. The run game was churning out chunk gains, and the passing game kept finding success in the screen game.
Down their top three linebackers, the Bears had a clear weakness on defense. Like last week against an inexperienced Cincinnati linebacker core, Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur...

Shedeur Sanders did something yesterday no Browns quarterback has done in the expansion era, but that doesn’t guarantee another start. In Cleveland’s win over the godawful Raiders, the fifth-round pick became the first Browns quarterback to win his first career start. Full stop. That is the entirety of the accomplishment: he won his first start […]

How serious is Broderick Jones’s stinger injury? The Steelers lost LT Broderick Jones in the second half of yesterday’s game due to an injury, initially classified only as a stinger. The thing is, a “stinger” is pretty vague, especially relative to severity. A player doesn’t have to miss any time due to a stinger, and […]

Put players in position to succeed. Have answers to the test. That’s the ultimate goal of a coaching staff and a game plan. For at least one play Sunday, and surely many more, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaches failed. That was clearest on Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore’s second touchdown of the day. A score that […]

The Windy City Blues. Once again, after a trip to Chicago to take on the Bears, the Pittsburgh Steelers came up short, failing to make necessary stops in the second half and struggling to take care of the ball offensively in a 31-28 loss to drop to 6-5 on the season. Without Aaron Rodgers under […]

CHICAGO — For several weeks now, the Baltimore Ravens have been the objects in the rear-view mirror for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the Ravens got through their brutal early season schedule and an incredible rash of injuries that including starting quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Steelers, meanwhile, feasted against lesser opposition, and with both Jackson and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow on the sidelines, jumped out to a big lead in the AFC North.
On Oct. 15, the Steelers had a 4-1 record — three games clear of the Cincinnati Bengals in second place and three and a half games ahead...
As the Pittsburgh Steelers were busy dropping yet another game in Chicago against the Bears to fall to 6-5 on the season, the Baltimore Ravens ripped off their fifth straight win to take control of the AFC North thanks to a 23-10 win over the New York Jets. Elsewhere in the division, the Cincinnati Bengals […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost control of the AFC North and their place in the AFC playoff picture this Sunday with a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Steelers’ offense stalled on their final drive with a chance to get into field goal range and potentially send the game into overtime.
Pittsburgh’s defense made a splash play early by way of a T.J. Watt strip sack for a touchdown, but largely struggled to contain the Chicago offense in the second half.
When Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen was asked about what was most frustrating about the defense’s play, he did not...
Behind the Steel Curtain
With Sunday’s results, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost sole ownership of the AFC North’s perch. Mike Tomlin’s team has been at least tied for the division lead all season, but John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens have caught back up.
The Steelers began the campaign by tearing off wins in four of their first five outings, including a 21-14 win over Mike Vrabel’s New England Patriots that remains a feather in their cap. However, the Steelers have dropped four of their past six, and frustration is building, especially after Sunday’s 31-28 road loss to the Chicago Bears.
The Ravens, meanwhile, got off to...
