When Kyle Dugger was traded from the New England Patriots to the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was forced to hit the ground running. The trade became official on Thursday, Oct. 30, and that Sunday Dugger was thrust into the starting lineup against the Indianapolis Colts. The whirlwind turnaround time was in part due to attrition among […]

Another primetime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last week has the Pittsburgh Steelers reeling. They’ve dropped three of their last four games and continue to look unable to put together a complete team performance. With a brutal schedule to finish the season, and red-hot and suddenly healthy the Baltimore Ravens gaining ground, it may […]

Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).

At 5-4 our margin for error is dwindling. We can’t be the one to bungal on Sunday. Our secondary needs to Chase their WR all over the field, make them work for every catch. Can we rebound after a pathetic showing vs the Chargers? Almost time to find out if we can make Joe Flacco feel his age.

This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going, so let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

The Pittsburgh Steelers will play their 10th game of the 2025 season facing the Cincinnati Bengals for the second time. It’s the third divisional game for each team. The Bengals are 3-6 on the season but 2-0 in the division. Below are five key things I believe the Steelers will need to do to come […]

Alejandro Villanueva’s NFL career was one of the more unlikely in recent memory. After playing multiple positions, including wide receiver, at Army, Villanueva served three combat tours in Afghanistan as a decorated Army Ranger. Returning to football with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 as a defensive lineman, Villanueva was released in the preseason before catching […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had their worst offensive performance of the season last Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The offense’s only touchdown of the night came when the game was already well out of reach, on a 27-yard reception by Roman Wilson. It was apparent on Sunday as much as ever that the Steelers need more help from their pass catchers, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems to think the solution could be in the tight end room.

Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth signed a four-year, $48.4 million dollar contract in 2024, but 2025 has marked one of his slowest...

The Steelers announced the elevations of two practice squad defenders for the team’s Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Linebacker Mark Robinson and cornerback D’Shawn Jamison will join the Steelers roster for the upcoming game, reverting back to the practice squad afterwards.

It’s the second straight week Robinson has been elevated since re-signing with the Steelers. Last week, he played one special teams snap. He provides an extra name at linebacker with Cole Holcomb missing yet another game due to illness.

If Jamison sees the field on Sunday, it’ll mark the first NFL game he’s played in since his...

Super Bowl XLIII was one of the most exciting games in Pittsburgh Steelers history. And the last time that the team won a championship. Ben Roethlisberger led an iconic drive near the end of the game and found Santonio Holmes for an unbelievable touchdown. However, that wasn’t the end of the game. The Arizona Cardinals […]

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher Nick Herbig was fined for an illegal hip-drop tackle against Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, the NFL announced on Saturday.

Herbig was fined $6,656 for the tackle, which came on a sack in the second quarter of the Steelers’ 25-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. The play occurred as Herbig rushed from the right of Herbert and looped around behind him. Herbig and safety Kyle Dugger flushed Herbert from the pocket, and he tried to run. Herbig caught him from behind, grasping him around the hips, and pinning Herbert’s legs underneath him...

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the Cincinnati Bengals at home on Sunday afternoon, and if you’re like me, you’re counting down the hours until the 1 PM/EST contest begins. As usual, I will project the Steelers’ inactives for every game of the 2025 season, and below is my best guess as to which players won’t be […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have elevated linebacker Mark Robinson from their practice squad to the active roster for the second consecutive week.

Robinson, the team’s seventh round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, re-signed with the team on Nov. 4, and was first elevated last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Against L.A., Robinson played in just one snap of special teams, covering a kickoff. He’s in the lineup because Cole Holcomb has been ruled out, missing his third straight game with an illness.

Robison was released by the Steelers at the end of training camp and signed to the New...
