‘There’s No Coincidence’: Steelers’ New Safety Tandem Fueling Defensive Turnaround, Essex Says

‘There’s No Coincidence’: Steelers’ New Safety Tandem Fueling Defensive Turnaround, Essex Says

Since the Steelers moved Jalen Ramsey to safety and acquired Kyle Dugger, their defense has seemed to settle down. They’ve gone 2-1 in that span, losing only when their offense mustered just 10 points against the Chargers. Statistically, they have put up some of their best numbers of the season in that span. Former Steelers […]

Steelers Cam Heyward Rips Ja’Marr Chase Following Suspension

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward did not hold back when talking about Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

The NFL upheld its one-game suspension for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase for spitting on defensive back Jalen Ramsey in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 34-12 win in Week 11. Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward still had some things to say about the situation, though.

“You ain’t know what to do when we had a plan for your ass,” Heyward said on the latest episode of Not Just Football with Cam Heyward. “People get frustrated, and when they get frustrated, they don’t...

Dulac Suggests Aaron Rodgers Could Start On Sunday With A Short Leash

Picture this scenario: Aaron Rodgers starts on Sunday but doesn’t finish the game. Gerry Dulac says this is a realistic possibility. Nursing a wrist injury, including a fracture in his non-throwing hand, his status for Sunday is unclear. If he can function while protecting himself, he is likely to play—or at least try to play.

Big Ben Blasts Steelers-Bengals Rivalry: ‘Shut Up and Play Football’

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not like where the team’s rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals is heading.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals seems to be hotter than ever following their latest matchup when wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase spit on defensive back Jalen Ramsey, who then threw a punch and was ejected from the game.

Chase has since been suspended for a game as well, but former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger does not like what he saw from either team.

“I’m talking to both. I’m talking to everybody. Just shut up and play football. That’s how...

How Pittsburgh Changed Its Defensive Approach Against Cincinnati

How Pittsburgh Changed Its Defensive Approach Against Cincinnati

In take two against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers say their defensive approach didn’t radically change. But the data paints a different picture. Perhaps it didn’t change radically, but it had clear tweaks and adjustments beyond personnel (e.g., shifting Jalen Ramsey to safety and James Pierre’s emergence at cornerback). Our Clayton Eckert provided coverage […]

Cam Heyward Sends Message To Ja’Marr Chase: ‘Ain’t Know What To Do When We Had A Plan For Your Ass’

One of the biggest stories that came out of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals was WR Ja’Marr Chase spitting on DB Jalen Ramsey.

Steelers History: Buddy Parker’s Best Steelers Game?

Steelers History: Buddy Parker’s Best Steelers Game?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a terrible record against the Chicago Bears. Most of their losses were accumulated in those infant years of the franchise when the Bears were one of the NFL’s powerhouses.

The Bears were an established part of the NFL a decade before the Steelers joined. The early contests between the two teams were lopsided affairs, always in the Bears favor. The Bears have an overall 22-8-1 win record. The Steelers have only won one game in Chicago while losing 14. I wrote about that thrilling 1995 overtime victory previously?

The first two decades of Steelers football would...

Steelers’ Trade Named One of Worst in NFL History

Steelers’ Trade Named One of Worst in NFL History

The Pittsburgh Steelers are starting to end up on the wrong side of one of their recent deals.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the somewhat unsurprising decision to trade away wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. However, they don’t seem to be ending up on the right side of the deal after receiving just a third-round pick in return.

Kay Adams of FanDuel TV not only reiterated that sentiment but also believes it could go down as one of the worst trades in NFL history.

“I think that trading George Pickens is probably going to go down...

Mike Tomlin Praises Roman Wilson’s Steady Growth: ‘It’s Evident In Watching Him Play’

It might not seem like much, but Roman Wilson has seen his role steadily increase within the Steelers’ offense lately. On Sunday, he saw a career-high 37 snaps, for example, even if he made just one catch. Even on the entire season, he has all of 12 catches in 10 games. But the coaches see […]
