Mike Tomlin decided to move on from his longtime position on Tuesday, meaning the Pittsburgh Steelers are now tasked with replacing him and living up to their own expectations.

ESPN’s Mike Greenberg, a noted New York Jets fan, feels that Steelers fans might not know what could be in store. Pittsburgh hasn’t seen a losing season since before Tomlin took over.

“I’m telling you, ‘Be careful what you wish for,’” Greenberg said Wednesday on “Get Up.” “Because I have lived the other side of this. I have lived being bad and will draft the quarterback, and then that quarterback is...

The Steelers’ stability makes them an attractive destination for a head coach, but the quarterback position is another matter. Unless somebody really, really believes in Will Howard, that room is a major cause for concern. Mason Rudolph is not a starter, and Aaron Rodgers likely will not return without Mike Tomlin. So what does the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Brian Flores aren’t strangers. They’ll be reacquainted soon when the Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator interviews to be Mike Tomlin’s sideline successor.

The Steelers requested to talk to Flores on Wednesday as they began to compile their list of options.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio has done some research with several executives and coaches around the league, gauging Flores’ prospects as a head coach candidate in this cycle. Flores previously served as the Miami Dolphins’ head coach from 2019-21.

“There are questions about how it went, how it ended in Miami,” Florio said during an appearance on...

Welcome to the Divisional Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs. Last week with my Wild Card Round picks, I guessed three right and three wrong. That’s not great at all, but at least it was an awesome and eventful slate of games. I’m hoping to do better this weekend. Let’s see how I fare with my Divisional Round picks.

Saturday Football (Early Game) — Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos

Winner: Broncos

After a top-flight regular season campaign, the Broncos will square off against the Bills in the postseason for the second year in a row. This time they are...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Yesterday Oregon quarterback Dante Moore chose to return to school rather than enter the 2026 NFL draft. This decision has major implications for the New York Jets. The Jets were widely considered likely to draft Moore with the second overall pick in the draft if Moore was available. Now the Jets will need to find a starting quarterback elsewhwere. In addition, if the Jets didn’t like Moore, there was a chance some other team would covet him and offer the Jets a draft bounty to trade up for him. That possibility no longer exists. There...

Cowboys reach out to NFC East rivals as interview request for vacant DC gig continue – Joseph Hoyt, Dallas Morning News

Dallas has put in interview request for multiple defensive coordinator candidates within their division.

And now there are eight.

The Dallas Cowboys requested two new defensive coordinator candidates to interview on Wednesday, a person familiar with the situation told The Dallas Morning News, in Philadelphia Eagles defensive passing game coordinator Christian Parker and Charlie Bullen, who finished the season as the interim defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.

Parker, 34, has been with...

In 2025, for the second time in three seasons, Dak Prescott started every game of the NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys.

It was also the second time he’d done son in the last five seasons. In 10 NFL seasons, he’s started every game in six of them.

Prior to this season, the Cowboys hadn’t finished below .500.

If you ignored the won-loss record and focused on Prescott’s numbers alone, you might have expected him to be a leading candidate for MVP.

But 7-9-1 records don’t win MVP hardware for quarterbacks in the NFL.

An Incredible Season

[Prescott was...

The Buffalo Bills (12-5) face another stiff challenge in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs, heading to Denver to take on the top-seeded Broncos (14-3) at 4:30 p.m. EST Saturday afternoon.

As the Bills prepare to play the Broncos, who boast one of the NFL’s best defenses, a stout run defense, and plenty of pass rushers, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by hearing from quarterback Josh Allen, safety Cole Bishop, wide receiver Keon Coleman, head coach Sean McDermott, and other members of the Bills as the team gets ready to take on the Broncos.

Bills continue to...

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t used to this. In need of a new head coach for the first time since 2007, the team’s coaching search might look different than those in the past.

Among plenty of other names, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman has been floated as someone the Steelers should pursue. During an appearance on Colin Cowherd’s radio show on Wednesday, former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis, a Fighting Irish alum, was asked if he would leave South Bend to take over for the Steelers if he were Freeman.

“I think because of what you have to do in...

Player: OLB Jack Sawyer Stock Value: Up Reasoning: While much has already transpired since the Steelers’ season ended, Jack Sawyer deserves some recognition for his last game. Known for making plays in big moments in college, he proved he can do it in the pros, too. With a strip sack of C.J. Stroud, he made […]

The dream is dead. Multiple outlets have been reporting overnight that John Harbaugh is finalizing a deal to become the head coach of the New York Giants. The Tennessee Titans were scheduled to meet with him at his house today, but that meeting has been canceled, per Albert Breer. Did the Titans ever really have a shot here? We will probably never know.

People are going to make this a Jaxson Dart vs. Cam Ward thing. Don’t fall into that. The Giants have better players all over the field than the Titans do. With the talent already on the roster...

Striking out on a need in Round 4

That left a fourth-round pick likely earmarked for running back. Heck, general manager Brett Veach even said before the draft that there was a “good chance” he would use one of his picks on that position, noting specifically that the draft class had good talent in Rounds 1-5.

The Chiefs, specifically, would be looking for more of a home-run threat there after struggling with getting explosive runs...
