There’s a lot of noise surrounding Mike Tomlin. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been disappointing this season, and that’s led to many people wanting the team to move on from Tomlin. That even includes some former Steelers, such as Ben Roethlisberger and James Harrison. However, Tony Dungy, who was both a player and a coach for […]

PITTSBURGH — To err on the side of caution, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense operated exclusively out of shotgun or pistol formations during last week’s decisive loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran quarterback has had another week for his fractured left wrist to heal, meaning offensive coordinator Arthur Smith might deploy different looks against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
“I don’t think we’re limited in any way,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. “Certainly, we’re going to do some things a little bit different to accommodate present circumstances. … There will probably be less discussion this...

Let’s go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!...
The Pittsburgh Steelers moving on from Mike Tomlin has never felt like a legitimate possibility. But the fanbase is fed up, and the Steelers sit at 6-6 with lackluster production on both sides of the ball. Naturally, talk about Tomlin’s future has increased this week. Appearing on 93.7 The Fan, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent much of the last two years trying to upgrade at wide receiver. Since trading Diontae Johnson in March 2024, they’ve struggled to find a solid No. 2 receiver. They tried to add late-season help by claiming veteran Adam Thielen off waivers earlier this week. While there’s some hope that Thielen […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth played only 17 snaps and didn’t receive a single target in Sunday’s embarrassing 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Given Freiermuth’s nearly $13 million cap hit, it’s certainly head-scratching that the fifth-year tight end hasn’t been utilized like in years past this season.
Smith has been utilizing Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith over Freiermuth. Jonnu Smith has a history with Arthur Smith, as he played for him in Tennessee and Atlanta. Jonnu Smith has not been great, though. He has caught only 30 passes for 190 yards (6.3 average) and two touchdowns...
At the age of 35, and having just eight receptions this year with the Minnesota Vikings, there’s not much excitement around the Steelers picking up Adam Thielen through waivers this week. But that isn’t stopping him from remaining confident as he starts his new endeavor in Pittsburgh. “I’ve always had a lot of confidence in […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator is well-aware of the pressure that head coach Mike Tomin is dealing with right now. He was in the same position when he was the Atlanta Falcons head coach, which ultimately ended in him being fired after three straight 7-10 seasons.
With the Steelers losing 23-7 in the third quarter to the Buffalo Bills, “Fire Tomlin” chants erupted from the crowd at Acrisure Stadium.
“I’ve been in situations personally myself. This isn’t a business for the meek, especially mentally,” Smith said on Thursday. “I roll my eyes when people act like a victim. Our...
Despite tight end Pat Freiermuth struggling to find a foothold in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, Arthur Smith is making no guarantees of future involvement. Largely defending the team’s tight end rotation, Smith thinks those moments will naturally come and don’t need to be forced or schemed. “The context is that the tight end room, you […]
