Mike Tomlin pitches case for Hines Ward to enter Hall of Fame

Mike Tomlin pitches case for Hines Ward to enter Hall of Fame

On Tuesday, it was announced that Hines Ward is a semi-finalist to be inducted into the National Football League’s Hall of Fame. With a lengthy list of accolades, there is no questioning the talent of the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers receiver.

While examining the statistics may give you all you need to know, one person understands the individual much better than many. Mike Tomlin was asked what makes Ward a potential Hall of Fame member, and the Steelers’ head coach answered in the only way he knows how.

During his Tuesday press conference, Tomlin addressed several questions, including those about his...

‘You Have To Own That’: Charlie Batch Grades, Assesses Mason Rudolph’s Game Vs Bears

The Steelers put up 28 points against the Bears and lost with Mason Rudolph at quarterback—though the offense only scored 21 itself. So how did the longtime veteran backup perform? Charlie Batch, another longtime veteran Steelers backup quarterback himself, believes he did…okay, or thereabouts. Commenting on the game on his Snap Count Show with Trai […]

Colin Cowherd Calls Steelers a Laughingstock

Colin Cowherd Calls Steelers a Laughingstock

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ reputation has historically carried significant weight. The last time they won a playoff game, however, Donald Trump hadn’t yet begun his first term in the White House, the Mannequin Challenge was cool and Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” was one of the most popular songs.

Under longtime head coach Mike Tomlin, the Steelers haven’t finished with worse than a .500 record. Fox radio personality Colin Cowherd doesn’t want to hear any of that, however.

“This whole thing about Mike Tomlin not having a losing season … you know who has the longest streak in the NBA of not...

Beat Writer Alarmed By Players Openly Blaming Scheme: ‘That’s Not Good’

What coaches and players say publicly is usually a filtered version—the dressed-up truth (if it’s the truth at all). But every so often, frustration boils over and the real story slips out. That’s what it felt like took place inside the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room after their loss to the Chicago Bears. One beat writer […]

Beat Writer Believes Aaron Rodgers’ Status Is Up In The Air For Sunday

All indications from the Pittsburgh Steelers are that QB Aaron Rodgers will suit up on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. But Pittsburgh has yet to practice this week, and with Rodgers missing the team’s Week 12 game to avoid further damage to his wrist injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is less certain of […]

Steelers Read & React: Are the Steelers who we thought they’d be?

Steelers Read & React: Are the Steelers who we thought they’d be?

So…let’s talk about Sunday.

With their frustrating loss to the Chicago Bears, the Steelers not only lost the AFC North lead, but also tumbled out of playoff position altogether. If the season ended today, Mike Tomlin and crew would be left crooning whatever the NFL postseason’s equivalent is to “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.”

With six games left on the schedule, the Steelers are technically still in the thick of things, at least mathematically speaking. However, with games against the Bills, Lions and a double dose of Ravens making up the majority of the remaining schedule, the margin for error...

Big Ben Highlights Dropped INT In Steelers’ Loss: ‘This Team Lives, Breathes, And Dies By The Turnover’

The Steelers lean all the way into what they call “turnover culture”, complete with merchandise, but it’s a fickle mistress. This season, they are 5-0 when they win the turnover battle and 1-5 when they don’t. Their only win without a turnover surplus was against the Browns, with neither team taking the ball away. Missed […]

Saints Swap Pair of Former Steelers

Saints Swap Pair of Former Steelers

A pair of former Pittsburgh Steelers have been swapped in and out on the New Orleans Saints.

The New Orleans Saints have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Evan Hull to their 53-man roster and released former Steelers linebacker Eku Leota, according to Aaron Wilson of Houston’s KPRC2.

Hull, 25, signed to the Saints practice squad on Oct. 29 and to their active roster on Nov. 25. He didn’t record a statistic with New Orleans, though.

Hull began his career as a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. However, he suffered a torn meniscus and...

Steelers History: Division Clinched as Records Fall

The Pittsburgh Steelers have an overall 17-13 record against the Buffalo Bills while in Pittsburgh they are 10-3 ahead. The last time these two teams met was the snow game in the 2023 playoffs which the Steelers lost 31-17.

The 1979 Steelers were coming off their third winning championship season and were making a good run towards winning a fourth. Their momentum took a knock in week 15 when they lost 20-17 to division rivals Houston Oilers. Despite their win, Houston’s coach Bum Phillips noted, “The road to the Super Bowl always seems to go through Pittsburgh.”

Steelers Let Go Former Seventh-Round Draft Pick

Steelers Let Go Former Seventh-Round Draft Pick

The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with linebacker Mark Robinson, the team announced on Tuesday. Robinson’s second tenure with the Steelers was a short one, as re-signed with the club’s practice squad on Nov. 4.

Robinson was drafted by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was on the team’s active roster and practice squad before being released in late August.

On Aug. 28, Robinson was signed to the New England Patriots’ practice squad. The New York Jets signed Robinson to their active roster off the Patriots’ practice squad on Sept. 23.
