Any given Sunday, or in this case Thursday night. Particularly in the AFC North, as the Cleveland Browns (now 3-8) topped the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) in an insanely wonky 24-19 visiting team loss. In this article I will provide data from Pro Football Focus (PFF) and takeaways from watching the film. Offense: Excellent (90-Plus Grades): […]

The post Ex-NFL QB Backs George Pickens over Skirmish with Browns CB: ‘He’s the Dog on the Team’ appeared first on Steelers Now.

Cleveland Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II fired back at Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens after a post-game scrum in Thursday night’s 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at snowy Huntington Bank Field.

“Fake tough guy,” Newsome wrote on X with three crying laughing emojis.

Pickens tried to throw Newsome into the first row after the failed Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the game, similar to what he did at Georgia.

When asked about...

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday. Then on a short week, they went into Cleveland and lost to the previously 2-8 Browns. That’s quite the disparity in results against very different talent levels. So was the win over the Ravens a fluke? Was the loss to the Browns a fluke? Or is […]

The post Browns Social Media Mocks T.J. Watt after Win vs. Steelers appeared first on Steelers Now.

The Cleveland Browns official X account trolled T.J. Watt by saying “Nothing he’s not used to” with a picture of Myles Garrett being crowned following Thursday night’s 24-19 upset over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Huntington Bank Field. Of course, Watt famously said “Nothing I’m not used to” after Myles Garrett won the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award this past offseason. Watt also skipped the NFL Honors award show ceremony entirely, despite being in Las Vegas.

Garrett had some words for...

Happy(ish) Friday, BTSC crew! Solemn vibes here coming off the team’s first loss with the Russ Bus under center — but hey, at least pretty much all of us saw it coming.

Time to gather with our fellow Steelers fans in mourning!

• What are your thoughts on the usage of Justin Fields and Russell Wilson on Thursday night? Did Arthur Smith achieve the right balance? Would you like to see more Fields? Less?
• What is your biggest concern on offense right now? Mine has to be the play calling with Arthur Smith. Undoubtedly better than Canada, for sure....

Despite the bumpiness the Pittsburgh Steelers are experiencing figuring out how and when to use QB Justin Fields and Russell Wilson that’s brought plenty of criticism, not everyone is taking their shots. Former QB Chase Daniel still offers his full support of the idea and saw its value even in yesterday’s loss to the Cleveland […]

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today’s show, we discuss what went wrong for the team in their loss to the Cleveland Browns. The team wasn’t able to keep Myles Garrett from wrecking shop against Russell Wilson and company.

Once a Steeler, always a Steeler. While appearing on ESPN’s First Take, former Steelers safety-turned-analyst Ryan Clark proved he will forever bleed Black and Gold.

Host Molly Qerim asked Clark if Head Coach Mike Tomlin was to blame for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Clark, demonstrating immense loyalty to his former coach, defended Tomlin’s most questionable call—the acceptance of the illegal touching by an offensive lineman penalty in the fourth quarter—stating it was the correct decision.

Clark added that making the field goal attempt tougher with the acceptance of the penalty could have paid dividends...

Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well. The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t doing quite as well. Following an 18-16 win last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, they’re reeling after a 24-19 upset loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. A sloppy game in all phases. Too many offensive penalties and the inability to […]
