The difference with and without first-round rookie DT Derrick Harmon on the field has been obvious for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.

A bizarre on-field incident involving Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf during Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions has taken on new context following a report from NFL Network.
Video circulating during the second quarter showed Metcalf reaching into the stands, grabbing a fan by the hair, and appearing to swipe at him near the sideline. No penalty flag was thrown on the play, and Metcalf remained in the game.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the interaction was not a random confrontation. Pelissero reported that Metcalf and the fan involved have a prior history dating back to Metcalf’s time...

The Pittsburgh Steelers played one of their best games of the season in Week 16. They beat the Detroit Lions, moving closer to locking up the AFC North title.

Without the services of star outside linebacker T.J. Watt and do-everything rotational piece Nick Herbig Sunday against the Detroit Lions, the Pittsburgh Steelers had to turn to rookie fourth-round pick Jack Sawyer at Ford Field. And Sawyer found himself matched up against arguably the best right tackle in football in Lions star Penei Sewell. That’s […]

Two things seem like foregone conclusions in Steelers’ country: Mike Tomlin is going to finish the year with a winning record, and for better or worse, his teams will regularly give their fans heart palpitations with their fourth-quarter antics. It’s safe to say that Sunday’s 29-24 Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Detroit Lions was one of the more dramatic finishes that we’ve seen across the sport this season, but the result was hardly a fluke.
The Steelers were the better team for the vast majority of the day, dominating the trenches, getting some well-timed conversions from their Hall of Fame...
The Pittsburgh Steelers went into Detroit and beat the Lions on Sunday. And a big part of that was the play of the Steelers’ offense. QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 266 yards and a touchdown, while the running back duo of Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell combined for over 200 total yards and three total […]

Along with the craziness that was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 29-24 win over the Detroit Lions, DK Metcalf made headlines for his interaction with a fan at Ford Field.
As it turns out, it wasn’t the Steelers’ receiver’s first time hearing from that particular fan.
“Steelers WR DK Metcalf had a history with the Lions fan he confronted Sunday — Metcalf reported the same fan to Seahawks security last season while playing for Seattle, sources say,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero wrote Monday on X. “The NFL is reviewing the incident for potential discipline.”
The fan said afterward that Metcalf was upset...
DK Metcalf’s actions during a television break in the first half against the Detroit Lions were unacceptable, but more information has trickled out as to his possible motives for getting into an altercation with a fan. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Metcalf actually has a history with that fan dating back to last year’s […]

If there’s one thing the Detroit Lions have established over the last couple seasons, it’s their identity as a physical football team. With a strong run game and some talented defensive linemen, the Lions want to beat you up at the line of scrimmage. But that certainly wasn’t the case for the Lions Sunday against […]
