๐Ÿˆ With five to nine yards to go, the Steelers ran the ball at a 40.0% clip. Only the Packers were higher.

๐Ÿˆ Team president Art Rooney II is comfortable with the Steelers culture.

โ€œIโ€™m very comfortable with the culture in this team. I think it is a winning culture. I think people need to keep it in perspective here,โ€ Rooney told Ashley Liotus of WTAE. โ€œEven though we havenโ€™t reached our goal of winning a Super Bowl, weโ€™ve had winning teams. Weโ€™ve been making the playoffs.โ€

๐Ÿˆ Mkke Florio of Pro Football Talk questions if the Steelers should give George Pickens a new contract.

โ€œIf you make him prove himself this year and then you pay him, does he revert? Does he act the way he should for one year, get the contract? Florio pondered. โ€œBecause once you get that contract, you know the way the contractโ€™s gonna be structured, you have a certain amount of bulletproof-ness to you. If you give him money, is he gonna change? And at what point do you come to the conclusion that this is just who he is?โ€

๐Ÿˆ Art Rooney II doesnโ€™t have a plan to retire anytime soon.

โ€œI donโ€™t have a timeline on it. My grandfather never retired. My father never retired, so Iโ€™m hoping to follow in their footsteps,โ€ Rooney told Jenna Harner of WPXI. โ€œLook, my sonโ€™s involved in the business now, and potentially other family members will be involved, and so weโ€™ll see how it goes.โ€

I asked Steelers President Art Rooney II how much longer he sees himself in his current role.
