It’s pretty clear at this point that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is going to miss some time after suffering a hand/wrist injury Sunday in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals. How much time he misses is still to be determined. What also needs to be determined is if the soon-to-be 42-year-old quarterback needs surgery […]

Now in his sixth NFL season, James Pierre seems to be blossoming—and it’s not just some accident. A former college free agent out of Florida Atlantic University, he made his career on special teams. In previous years, however, he struggled when given his opportunities to play on defense. Not so this year, and it wasn’t […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback James Pierre had a banner day in the team’s 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, recording six tackles (three solos), two passes defended and a 34-yard scoop and score to seal the victory.

Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was held to three receptions for 30 yards, while the Bengals other standout receiver Tee Higgins had three receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown. Pierre played a big role in limiting the Bengals two-headed monster at receiver.

“He’s grown throughout the years,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said after the game. “He’s gotten...

Player: QB Mason Rudolph Stock Value: Up Reasoning: In his first meaningful action as Aaron Rodgers’ backup, Mason Rudolph stepped in and did what the Steelers needed him to do. He played error-free football and helped put his teammates in position to make plays. Completing 75 percent of his passes, they didn’t even have to […]

The Steelers insist they didn’t do much different against Ja’Marr Chase and the Bengals yesterday, they just did it better. In their last matchup, Cincinnati’s offense dominated, producing 33 points. Chase set a franchise record, catching 16 passes on 23 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown. Suffice it to say that he didn’t come […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin gave his backup quarterback Mason Rudolph high praise for displaying a cool, calm and collected demeanor when replacing an injured Aaron Rodgers in the second half of Sunday’s 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

“Mason’s proved in the past what he showed today,” Tomlin said. “That’s why we value him as a member of this collective and appreciative of his play. He’s always delivered when called upon in the past. His performance was consistent with what he’s done in the past for us. Not that we take it for granted. We don’t....

The Steelers advanced to 6-4 on the 2025 season with Sunday’s 22-point win over the rival Cincinnati Bengals. As always, there are plenty of takeaways to be had.

1. The Steelers won a (kinda) must-win game

If the Steelers had lost to the Bengals, it wouldn’t have been the end of the world. They’d still be at the top of their division and in the mix in the AFC playoff picture.

But there’s a big difference between being 5-5 versus being two games ahead of .500 at 6-4, which Pittsburgh advanced to following the win.

The Steelers’ have maintained...

Myles Garrett is indisputably the best bad-team pass-rusher in the history of the National Football League, as he reminded yesterday. In yet another dominating, four-sack performance, he watched his lowly Browns squander a golden opportunity against the Ravens. Even worse, they couldn’t make a pick-six by former Steelers first-round ILB Devin Bush count for something. […]

How serious is Aaron Rodgers’ wrist injury? Aaron Rodgers exited the Steelers’ victory over the Bengals with a wrist injury, and he was due to undergo further evaluation. We should know relatively soon what that evaluation reveals, but until we do, his status is a mystery. While he should certainly return this season even under […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a left wrist injury late in the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals and never returned. Now it seems his injury will keep him sidelined for at least the near future, despite a report by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk that he wanted to return to the game.

“I’m told he actually tried to come back into the game,” Florio said. “They didn’t let him play. They’re going to have imaging examinations tomorrow to determine the extent of the injury.”

According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, Rodgers suffered...

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered their Week 11 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals wanting to get back on track on both sides of the football. They also wanted to prove that their Week 7 loss to the Bengals and poor defensive performance in that game was a fluke. Consider it mission accomplished for the Black and […]
