PITTSBURGH — Depending on the outcome, Sunday night’s winner-take-all Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens could be Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ last outing of his Hall of Fame career.
Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show in June that he was pretty sure this would be his last year. It’s unclear if that stance has changed for the 42-year-old quarterback.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin hasn’t thought a lot about it possibly being Rodgers’ last game, but he’s just appreciative of the time he spent with the four-time NFL MVP.

The Pittsburgh Steelers believe they’ll have a better plan in place to replace wide receiver DK Metcalf against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a must-win game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18, but they are doing so without No. 1 wide receiver DK Metcalf and rising star tight end Darnell Washington. Head coach Mike Tomlin is confident in the team’s depth to get the job done, though.
Fans are right to question that confidence after wide receivers Scotty Miller, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen combined for just eight catches for 60 yards on 21 targets...
The lack of a consistent passing game and concerns about the talent and production behind No. 1 WR DK Metcalf were issues for the Pittsburgh Steelers coming into the season. It proved to be warranted, as the Steelers are now on the cusp of an offensive low in the passing game that hasn’t happened in […]

Even without Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens had a ton of success offensively against the Green Bay Packers last week. They scored 41 points and ran for over 300 yards. Derrick Henry himself had potentially the best game of his career with over 200 yards and four touchdowns. Tyler Huntley wasn’t asked to do a […]

Teams typically dread the idea of playing against Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. He’s a two-time NFL MVP winner, has led his team to several division championships in recent years, and is a threat with both his arm and his legs. But former Steeler James Harrison thinks Pittsburgh might be better off having to deal with […]

The AFC North has often been regarded as one of the best divisions in the NFL. Many expected its constituent teams to be competitive this season. However, that has not been the case. Only one team from that division will make the playoffs. It all comes down to Week 18 between the Baltimore Ravens and […]

If one thing is for sure, it’s that this season has reminded us that the NFL is as unpredictable as it is entertaining. The Pittsburgh Steelers were playing some of their best ball of the season, riding high off a three-game win streak capped off with a climactic upset over the Detroit Lions, before falling on their faces a week later, losing to the 3-12 Cleveland Browns. While Mike Tomlin’s club does still control their own destiny as they enter the regular season finale, this recent chain of events has put their playoff aspirations on life support.

After a fantastic performance from the Pittsburgh Steelers rookies a week ago, they played less and performed worse overall against the Cleveland Browns. Kaleb Johnson was a healthy scratch again, so they still had just four rookies playing snaps. The 63 combined defensive snaps are the lowest from the rookie group in several weeks. As […]

The Baltimore Ravens ended the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season last year. Now, they have a chance to do that again. The loser of this week’s game between those two teams will miss the playoffs. While the Steelers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens just put up a convincing win without […]

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered yet another injury during their Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns, head coach Mike Tomlin revealed on Tuesday.
Linebacker Malik Harrison suffered a bone bruise against the Browns, which could limit his availability as the team begins its preparations for its Week 18 must-win showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.
Tomlin said that he is hopeful that Harrison will be able to play against his former club, while also acknowledging that the injury may hold him back in practice.
“It may limit him at the early portions of the week, but optimistic about him,...
The Pittsburgh Steelers fan base has run out of patience. A group of ESPN analysts believe the group is spoiled. Defending Mike Tomlin despite his recent lack of playoff success, David Dennis Jr. thinks Tomlin is being treated unfairly. “He deserves better than what the Steelers and what that fan base has been doing to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers squandered a chance to lock up the AFC North when they lost to the Cleveland Browns. They still have a shot to win the division by beating (or tying) the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night, so they didn’t fully lose that. But they did suffer another big loss in the form of TE […]
