It’s no secret the Pittsburgh Steelers have been stalling in the Red Zone – in fact, they sit at 30th in the NFL as far as Red Zone efficiency.

One fix Steelers fans have been vouching for is to use QB Justin Fields in that area, where his legs are as dangerous as can be. Statistically, he has the stats to back its success.

Per Alan Saunders of Steelers Now, each quarterback brought Pittsburgh inside the 10-yard line 11 times, and Fields gave them 8 touchdowns and 1 FG as opposed to Wilson’s 4 TDs and 5 FGs.

Since switching from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson, the Pittsburgh Steelers have gone 4-0 and are on top in the AFC North. The team is 8-2 and if the playoffs started today, would be the No. 3 seed in the playoffs.

There are lost of ways to look at quarterback success but many say wins simply aren’t enough. Perhaps the most thorough measure of a quarterback’s contribution to that win is Total QBR, developed by ESPN. Here is the full ranking of all 32 NFL quarterbacks by Total QBR after Week 11 including Wilson.

Game picks for Week 12

The Steelers will look to get to 9-2 by doing something they’ve never done before - win a road divisional game on Thursday night. Will they be able to defeat the lowly Browns? Here are our staff picks.

You would have to imagine the Pittsburgh Steelers have now done everything they can to prove they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. Now, it is time to prove they can avoid the games where they play down to less-talented opponents and drop games they should not. The Cleveland Browns have struggled mightily all season despite an impressive...

Ben Roethlisberger’s most iconic throw has no close challenger. His Super Bowl-winning touchdown to Santonio Holmes couldn’t be argued by the biggest contrarian. It will be the top of his highlight reel from now through the rest of time. But the throw that sits in a distant second place was still a beauty. Reflecting on […]

As we’ve been doing for many years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual player standpoint. Like last year, Josh Carney and I will cover the opposing team’s offense. I will focus on the scheme, Josh on the players. Today, our scouting […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the midst of a very successful year. They’ve won with strong defensive play, some much-improved quarterback play compared to previous years, and overall smart, sound football. However, one of the biggest reasons for that record is their kicker, Chris Boswell. Boswell just earned yet another AFC Special Teams Player of […]

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers recorded their eighth win over the Baltimore Ravens in nine games. While it would be too simplistic to say it came down to one play, the two-point rejection certainly stands out. Trailing by eight points, the Ravens scored with a little over a minute to play. Just as they […]

You may want to brace yourself for this one. For the first time all season, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have the same starting lineup, and almost the same entire depth chart, this week as they did last week. No Steelers players suffered major injuries when the team defeated the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday, no previously injured players will be making their return to the lineup, and no transactions were made in the week leading up to Thursday night’s game against...

As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players. Today, scouting the Cleveland Browns’ […]

The post Bell: Don’t Sweat Bumps in the Road for Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. appeared first on Steelers Now.

The second half of the Steelers schedule was loaded with top offenses headlined by talented quarterbacks and we knew that this was going to be a real test to see just how stout this defensive unit really is. In the last two weeks, they’ve shut down two of the most explosive, efficient groups in the league in Washington and Baltimore, stalling out the respective Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player favorites in the process. At the very least,...

After incurring a hefty fine for a hit during a play in the Week 7 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams earned a win against the league Wednesday. Williams, who was fined $45,020 for an unnecessary roughness for use of his helmet on a play against Steelers […]

Plenty of pundits and analysts were wrong about the Pittsburgh Steelers. Many had them hovering around .500, maybe capturing a Wild Card spot. Some believed they’d win only six games. Few – present company included – considered them AFC and Super Bowl contenders. Tony Dungy was one who had the foresight. And it’s even sweeter to know […]
