Even With Rodgers Back, Odds Favor Steelers To Miss Playoffs

On paper, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a better team right now than when they walked off the field at Acrisure Stadium following their Wild Card Round loss to the Houston Texans. Offensively, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard are upgrades to the passing game, the Steelers heavily addressed the offensive line through free agency and […]

The good and bad with Aaron Rodgers in 2026

The good and bad with Aaron Rodgers in 2026

It goes without saying that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is polarizing. Heck, polarizing doesn’t even seem to be the correct word anymore, as seemingly everyone in the NFL media sphere loves to treat Rodgers like he’s a member of Nickelback.

Regardless on how you feel about Rodgers, it’s disingenuous to act as if he is a bottom-dweller quarterback that is incapable of playing good football. Despite what many other analysts will try to tell you, there is still a lot of good that comes with Aaron Rodgers, despite him not being able to play at the level he once...

Steelers’ 2026 Schedule Features Brutal Six-Game Gauntlet: ‘Find a Win After the Bye Week’

Steelers’ 2026 Schedule Features Brutal Six-Game Gauntlet: ‘Find a Win After the Bye Week’

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a brutal six-game stretch following their Week 9 bye week. The six-game gauntlet very well determined the Steelers’ fate in 2026.

The Steelers had a similar situation in 2024 when they faced the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs in consecutive games, and it did not go well. The Steelers ended up losing their final five games of the season, which included a Wild Card playoff loss.

The Steelers’ brutal stretch starts in Week 10 with a trip to Cincinnati to face the Bengals on Sunday Night Football. A Week 11 meeting with...

Charlie Batch Believes Steelers Must Eventually Choose Between Drew Allar, Will Howard

Charlie Batch Believes Steelers Must Eventually Choose Between Drew Allar, Will Howard

With the Pittsburgh Steelers reaching a deal with Aaron Rodgers, the biggest question surrounding the organization might now be about the future of the quarterback position.

That conversation only intensified after Pittsburgh selected former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round while also having in sixth-round pick Will Howard.

Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch recently spoke on on 93.7 The Fan last week about explaining the challenge of developing multiple young quarterbacks at the same time, explaining that eventually a coaching staff has to decide which player gives them the best opportunity long term and fully invest their...

With Aaron Rodgers Officially Back, Mason Rudolph Could Be On Borrowed Time

Aaron Rodgers is back with the Pittsburgh Steelers, reportedly getting a one-year deal done with the team just two days before OTAs open Monday. That leaves the Steelers with four quarterbacks, including 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard and 2026 third-round pick Drew Allar. With Mason Rudolph the other quarterback in the room, it wouldn’t be […]

ESPN Analyst Rips Steelers for Bringing Aaron Rodgers Back: ‘There Were Better Options’

ESPN Analyst Rips Steelers for Bringing Aaron Rodgers Back: ‘There Were Better Options’

ESPN analyst Benjamin Solak thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are making a massive mistake by running it back with 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The four-time NFL MVP agreed to terms with the Steelers on a one-year deal worth up to $25 million on Saturday.

It’s roughly a $10 million pay increase for Rodgers. The Steelers are paying as much for Rodgers in 2026 as the Miami Dolphins ended up signing Malik Willis for.

In addition to Willis, Solak thinks Kyler Murray would’ve been a better option than Rodgers, and significantly cheaper.

“While free agency is never rich with elite passers, there...

Insider Reveals Why Aaron Rodgers Returned to Steelers

Aaron Rodgers‘ decision to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers dragged on for months, but the four-time NFL MVP will indeed be back for another season. He agreed to terms with the Steelers on a one-year deal worth up to $25 million on Saturday.

So why is the 42-year-old quarterback making presumably one last run?

Rodgers was spotted with teammates Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth and Mason Rudolph at Kool Cones in North Park on Friday night.

Rodgers has built a close rapport with...

J.J. Watt Blasts NFL for Expanding International Schedule: ‘Nearing the Realm of Traveling Circus’

One thing has become increasingly clear over the last several years: the NFL is fully committed to globalizing the game. The Pittsburgh Steelers are no exception, as they’ve officially been scheduled to face the New Orleans Saints in Paris this season, marking the second consecutive year Pittsburgh will play internationally.
While these games continue to expand the NFL’s reach and grow the league’s international fanbase, they’ve also sparked growing concerns from players around the league. Former NFL star J. J. Watt recently weighed in on the issue, expressing frustration with the increasing burden international games can place on players throughout...

Josh Cribbs Admits 2009 Win Over Steelers Was Browns’ Super Bowl

The Cleveland Browns have never made it to the Super Bowl, let alone lifted the Lombardi Trophy. Since re-entering the league in 1999, they have started 42 different quarterbacks and won only one playoff game (albeit, against the Steelers in 2020). With that context in mind, it’s understandable to hear ex-Browns players say that a […]
