What a difference four days make! Following the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday, fans believed the team was in the midst of something special in 2024. However, after the team’s Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns just four days later on Thursday Night Football, a mix of emotions has swept over the Steel City.
There is plenty of blame to go around, from HC Mike Tomlin’s fourth-quarter calls, to poor officiating, to Corliss Waitman’s botched punt, and even mother nature for the cruel and frigid weather conditions of the Week 12 contest....
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields played six snaps in the team’s 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night, and he was in the game for one of the biggest plays on offense, a 3rd and 4 with 3:34 left, and his pass deep down the left sideline to WR George Pickens fell incomplete. […]
While QB Russell Wilson has shown the ability to take the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense to another level, one area they’ve regressed in is short yardage. Third and fourth and short has become a chore for this team. Consider this. In Weeks 1-6, the Steelers converted 71.4-percent of their attempts on third/fourth and 1-2. Since Week […]
In a primetime matchup featuring two NFL titans on the defensive side of the football between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns, one star shined bright and had a major impact while the other struggled to make much noise at all and went out largely with a whimper. It seems fitting that the one […]
While the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a winnable game to the Cleveland Browns, they did show resolve. They erased a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter in wretched conditions on the road, after all. Perhaps that is why they were so mad, and frustrated in themselves, after the game. That is the takeaway from Shelby Cassesse […]
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields had six snaps in the Steelers’ 24-19 Week 12 loss against the Cleveland Browns, throwing the ball once and running three times for 26 yards. ESPN insider Dan Graziano said he expects Fields’ role to continue to expand beyond just specialty packages to help the offense evolve. “The use of […]
A little bit of weird to soothe an ugly Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Cleveland Browns. – This was the fourth 24-19 loss the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a part of. Until Thursday night, the most recent one came in 1995 against the Green Bay Packers. They were also defeated by the same score in […]
Arthur Smith has shown he can turn around a quarterback’s career. In Tennessee, he took Ryan Tannehill from first-round bust to Comeback Player of the Year. In Pittsburgh, he showed he could make Justin Fields a better player than what he showed in three years with the Chicago Bears. Russell Wilson was a different story, […]

CLEVELAND — There are a lot of negatives that come with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.
Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson is more fixated on what the positives could end up being.
“I think this is going to be a great story to tell,” said Wilson, who’d just suffered his first loss as the Steelers’ starter behind center. “We’re looking forward to that.”
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was matter-of-fact about the setback, as well. The film won’t...
Just days after unveiling the Justin Fields package on three snaps, the Pittsburgh Steelers showed just how often they were willing to go to the well. Partly driven by impact, he doubled his snap count to six, though it felt like more. He even saw multiple snaps in a row—and indeed even attempted a pass. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense couldn’t do much of anything in the team’s 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and a big part of that was the impact of DE Myles Garrett, who had three first-half sacks and was a true game wrecker, as he had three first-half sacks and the way he took over the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a winnable game against the 2-8 Cleveland Browns, and it all came down to the final few minutes, as it often does for AFC North divisional games. The Steelers were in prime position to complete a fourth-quarter comeback. They had scored a touchdown with roughly six minutes remaining to take the […]
