Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. To your questions!

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has earned a lot of criticism through the first half of the season. However, the unit took some big steps forward against the Indianapolis Colts last week.

The Patriots are currently riding a six-game winning streak, and while most things are going smoothly for New England, quarterback Drake Maye has been taking quite a beating.

The Atlanta Falcons and the Cleveland Browns sacked Maye six times in each of the last two games. However, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels isn’t worried about pass protection.

“I think generally speaking our pass protection has been pretty sound,” McDaniels said on Thursday, via Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.

Maye appeared to agree with McDaniels, suggesting that the pass protection is performing well because the young quarterback took most of the blame for...

The Seattle Seahawks announced they signed TE Marshall Lang to their practice squad and released OT Logan Brown in a corresponding move.

Lang, 24, originally signed on with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern in May. He was among Seattle’s final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.

The Patriots signed him to their practice squad in October, but released him after a couple of days.

During his college career, Lang appeared in 51 games for Northwestern and recorded 48 receptions for 491 yards (10.2 YPC) and four touchdowns.

The Detroit Lions coordinators took the podium on Thursday morning after the team’s tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While the coordinators have never shied away from honesty in their media sessions, this felt turned up to 11. All three coordinators pointed to specific players or units that made mistakes against the Vikings, while also noting their faith in turning things around.

Here are eight takeaways from the media session.

Offensive coordinator John Morton

Protection is the key to everything

When asked what the toughest part of rewatching the poor offensive performance from the offense, Morton pointed to their...

The Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline has come and gone, as numerous players around the league were dealt to new teams. The Miami Dolphins had several of their players rumored to be traded at the deadline. However, the front office only sent linebacker Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round pick. That being the only trade made seemingly doesn’t sit well with ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky.

During a segment on “First Take,” the former NFL quarterback turned football analyst claimed he would have liked to have seen the Dolphins make more trades at the deadline. Orlovsky calls Miami “the...

The NFL’s top cornerback contract was traded Tuesday, with the Colts taking on Sauce Gardner‘s deal after a blockbuster trade with the Jets. Months earlier, Gardner became the third cornerback this year to raise the cornerback contractual ceiling, securing a four-year, $130.1MM extension.

This has been a trend over the past 14 months. Patrick Surtain raised the bar initially, breaking the ice after a two-year period elapsed with no movement atop the CB market, and Jalen Ramsey came in with a new benchmark a day later in September 2024. The Chiefs have a player who will factor into this conversation,...

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, which means once again, my beloved New York Jets have managed to do all the right and wrong things simultaneously.

Pros: It was wise to abandon hope this season and make trades to get a huge haul of draft picks.

Cons: I will miss Sauce and Quinnen, and they should have traded more guys away if they’re serious about the rebuild.

Big picture: It won’t matter because this organization has given me no reason to believe that this rebuild will make a difference. Sauce and Quinnen were part of the last rebuild,...

The AFC North race looks a little different than people expected when the season started. The Baltimore Ravens were favorites, but their season has mostly been a disaster. They were even 1-5 at one point. While they’ve started to improve, sitting at 3-5 currently, they’ve still got a long way to go to overtake the […]

The New England Patriots made an intriguing move by signing wide receiver Brenden Rice, the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Rice in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He saw action in three games as a rookie, primarily on special teams, before finishing the year on injured reserve.

Los Angeles waived Rice as part of the final roster cuts this season. After some time looking for his next job, Rice signed with the Patriots’ practice squad

When asked why the Patriots brought in Rice, Vrabel said there were many factors, but...
