Welcome to the Steelers Afternoon Drive, our new daily podcast featuring all the latest Steelers news and analysis.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

On today’s episode, we discuss why there shouldn’t have been nearly the reaction there was to Aaron Rodgers’ comments in regard to receivers in meetings. We also discuss what Aaron had to say during his weekly availability, the first injury report of the week and give appreciation to those who tagged us in their Spotify Wrapped.

Let’s go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers had one of their worst defensive performances in recent history, allowing James Cook and the Buffalo Bills to run for 249 yards. This week, things don’t get much easier as they prepare to face Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco is expecting a Ravens […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have one of the fiercest rivalries in the NFL. The two teams have had some classic matchups over the years. While they both aren’t as good this year as they’ve been in years past, they’re still fighting for the AFC North crown. They both have the same record, but […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled recently. However, they’ve still got a chance to win their division. They’ve got a big AFC North showdown in front of them. They’re playing the Baltimore Ravens this week. While the Steelers and Ravens usually find themselves in close games, the last meeting between them saw Pittsburgh get blown out […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned heads with an eye-opening statement after Sunday’s embarrassing 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Rodgers was asked how to get more production in the passing game. He replied, “When there’s film sessions. Everyone shows up. When I check to a route, you do the right route. Jonnu [Smith] and I weren’t on the same page. I checked to his in-breaker and he ran an out-breaker. Jonnu is a true professional, so I’m sure he’s sick about that.”

Rodgers clarified his comments during his media availability on Wednesday.

PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Slay has been claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills, according to a report by ESPN. Slay, 34, and the Steelers mutually agreed to part ways and he was placed on waivers on Tuesday.

Slay was brought into Pittsburgh with the anticipation of him being a starting cornerback for the Steelers this season, but he lost that role, and even lost his slot on the active roster last week.

Slay started each of the first nine games of the season, but a concussion suffered against the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 9 kept...

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt missed Wednesday’s practice with a toe injury. The injury was not previously reported.

Perhaps the toe injury played a role in Watt’s disappointing performance in Sunday’s 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Sunday’s game was the fifth time this season that Watt has recorded two or fewer pressures, according to Marcus Mosher of FanSided. Watt had just one pressure, which came on a play he was unblocked, per NextGenStats. The Bills were without starting right tackle Spencer Brown, too.

Watt, 31, signed a three-year, $123 million extension that pays him an average...
