Justin Herbert made sure to give longtime teammate Keenan Allen his flowers after the veteran receiver etched his name into Chargers history on Sunday night. Following Los Angeles’ 25–10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Herbert praised Allen’s professionalism and leadership after he became the franchise’s all-time receptions leader.

“Just very fortunate to have him,” Herbert said postgame. “He’s a true pro and he’s taught me so much about the game. To have a guy like that teaching the receivers, hanging out with quarterbacks, talking routes—I think his understanding of the game is second to none. Nobody deserves it more than...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Aaron Rodgers made it sound straightforward. Yet, despite the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s succinct report on where his team stands, it hasn’t been at all simple this season.

“We’re 5-4. We’re leading the division,” Rodgers said after Sunday night’s 25-10 primetime road loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

It’s hard to get a read on this Steelers team. While its record is what Rodgers said, three of its past four outings have been losses, starting with a maddening Thursday night road setback in Cincinnati midway through last month.

The outlying boom in the series of busts was against...

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprising decision this offseason when they signed Aaron Rodgers. Many people doubted that Rodgers, at 41 years old, would be able to continue to play at a decent level. While he was proving that narrative wrong, Week 10 saw Rodgers’ level of play seriously decline in a 25-10 loss to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t pull off the upset on the West Coast, as they fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 25-10 in a game that never seemed like much of a threat. The defense kept things close until late, but a truly anemic showing offensively was just far too much to overcome. Not only does this open the door for the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North, but the loss could have Wild Card implications down the road. Mike Tomlin’s club will have a chance at revenge next weekend, as they host the Cincinnati Bengals.

Before we turn the page,...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was rather blunt when asked how he’d assess Aaron Rodgers’ performance in Sunday night’s 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

“How would you? Tomlin snapped. “Next question.”

It was the third question that Tomlin received about Rodgers, so it apparently was a sore subject.

Tomlin thought the offense overall was off against the Chargers.

“We as an offense collective were off today. And certainly he was a component of that,” Tomlin said of Rodgers. “I’ll let him speak for himself. But we certainly got to be better. Didn’t feel like...

Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers looked dejected as they walked off the field side by side after the Pittsburgh Steelers got embarrassed by the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.

Rodgers had a forgettable outing, going 16-of-31 for 161 yards. His only touchdown pass came with 2:57 left in the fourth quarter, with the outcome already settled. He was intercepted twice and sacked three times.

It was his worst game for the Steelers since joining the team in the offseason on a one-year deal worth $13.6 million.

In the postgame conference, Tomlin was asked to assess the 41-year-old...

It’s at the point of the season where the talk about playoff leverage matters a lot. After all, the majority of the teams that advance to the Super Bowl are the top seeds in their conference. This number has held consistent over fifty years of play, even with the changes to the NFL’s playoff format.

So what’s at stake for the Green Bay Packers going into Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles? Currently, Green Bay is the third seed in the NFC, owning the top spot in the NFC North. Because of the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears winning...

The Minnesota Vikings’ 27-19 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10 dropped them to 4-5 after costly false starts and turnovers undermined their offensive flow.

Minnesota was flagged 13 times for 102 yards, with eight of those penalties coming from false starts, the most by a home team since the 2009 Buffalo Bills. Right tackle Brian O’Neill was penalized three times, while McCarthy, receiver Justin Jefferson, tight end Ben Yurosek, and fellow linemen Christian Darrisaw and Blake Brandel accounted for the remaining infractions. Five of the false starts came on first downs, pushing the Vikings behind the chains...

For what feels like forever, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been seen as a team in need of WR help. Yet, the team clearly remains confident in its current options aside from DK Metcalf, specifically Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson. That’s something Bryant McFadden disagrees with. He wanted them to trade for a receiver before […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers played some ugly football in their 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Most of the Steelers’ issues were on the offensive side of the ball, marking the second straight week that Pittsburgh’s offense has struggled. But head coach Mike Tomlin is confident that the team can solve its […]
