It was pretty evident from the first time he stepped onto the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers that WR George Pickens is a little bit of a different animal. With that comes a lot of great things like his ability to make spectacular plays with great hands and body control, but it also comes with […]

For the third time since Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback situation to resolve in the offseason.

Pittsburgh would be wise to ink the younger, more athletic Justin Fields to a long-term contract, but a Steelers insider believes it’ll be Russell Wilson.

It’s pure speculation, but when asked his opinion on who the Steelers will sign between the two, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette responded:

The same guy they picked first in free agency and the same guy who was put in as the starter in Week 7.

Signing Wilson beyond 2024 was [part of...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Thursday night game was a strange one. They didn’t play well enough to beat the Cleveland Browns, and that came with several odd plays. One penalty called on Beanie Bishop Jr. seemed particularly puzzling. On the Browns’ final drive, Bishop got called for a delay of game penalty after trying to knock […]

Huge news out of New York on Friday with the Giants releasing former first-round pick Daniel Jones. According to reports, this was a mutually-agreed upon breakup between Jones and the Giants.

So before anyone asks, let’s be sure we are all clear. The Pittsburgh Steelers will not sign Jones this season. That’s not to say if Jones is on the market after the season ends, the Steelers might not entertain the idea but for now, the Steelers have enough quarterback problems to deal with without adding Jones to the mix.

Jones was the No. 6 overall pick in 2019. He...

Winners and losers from Week 12

The Steelers’ loss to the Browns is hard to swallow after they mounted a comeback and let it slip away. Now at 8-3, the Steelers have a mini-bye week to prepare for a trip to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. Before then, though, let’s dive into the winners and losers from Week 12.

QB Russell Wilson

Russ played well. He wasn’t perfect, taking multiple sacks that were more on him than the offensive line, but he was nearly flawless through the air. He went 21-of-28 for 270 and the go-ahead touchdown...

Things might seem bleak for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They just lost to the Cleveland Browns, who are at the bottom of the AFC North. Not only did they lose, but they looked awful for most of the game as well. Their offense looked stagnant, and their defense struggled to get pressure on Browns QB Jameis […]

The Steelers lost to the Browns 24-19 in Week 12 to drop to 8-3. Check out their complete schedule and results for the 2024 season. All times are Eastern Time.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-3 through Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season. They are still in first place in the AFC North. The Steelers lost to the Browns 24-19 on Thursday.

Things didn’t go all that well on Thursday night for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they dropped an ugly 24-19 game to the Cleveland Browns, raising some questions about the team moving forward. But there were some strong individual performances that had a major impact on the game — on both sides of the football. While […]

It was tough to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers’ performance against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night again. What should have been a win for the Steelers turned into a debacle of the highest order. One of the highlights was supposed to be the showdown between Browns EDGE Myles Garrett and Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt.

The showdown ended up being completely lopsided as Garrett dominated the Steelers offensive front and Watt was largely a non-factor. After the game, Garrett called out Watt bigtime after the game and put him on notice that he feels like he’s the No. 1 and everyone...

The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got backup QB Justin Fields involved in their win last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. They expanded on that idea against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football with mixed results. One former NFL safety wasn’t a big fan of the constant back and forth between Fields and Russell Wilson. “I […]

For most of this season, fans were curious when the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to deploy their Justin Fields package on offense. Over the past two weeks, they’ve gotten a nice, long look at it. Results have been varied. Against the Baltimore Ravens, Fields was a nice change of pace to close out the game. […]
