They haven’t won a postseason game in almost a decade, although they’ve had some solid chances. That includes the 2020 season. The Steelers went 12-4 that year, winning the AFC North. However, they should’ve been better. Pittsburgh started the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense underperformed in 2025, finishing 26th in the league in total yards allowed. The Steelers have invested a lot of money on that unit, so they expect it to be better in 2026. There are reasons to believe Pittsburgh’s defense will be better, too, such as its young talent potentially taking another […]

Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy have frequently gone above and beyond to sing Howard’s praises. Steelers quarterback coach Tom Arth did the same on Wednesday, speaking to the media at the team’s training facility.
“He’s doing everything and more that we could ask of him,” Arth said, per 93.7 The Fan. “He’s exceeding expectations. We...

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers used a two-back timeshare last season, with the combination of Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell leading the way on the ground. With the latter having left in free agency, first-year head coach Mike McCarthy replaced him with former Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers tailback Rico Dowdle.
Steelers running backs coach Ramon Chinyoung sees the duo being impactful this upcoming season, crediting versatility and different running styles for the production to come.
“I definitely envision them being two valuable, very accessible players for us — interchangeable — a thunder and lightning type of atmosphere with those...
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have tweaked their alignment on the offensive line at OTAs, moving offensive tackle Troy Fautanu and guard Mason McCormick to the left side.
Fautanu played left tackle at Washington, so it’s not a major adjustment.
“I saw it when he was in college, when he was at left tackle in college,” Steelers offensive line coach James Campen said Wednesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “The thing with him is he just naturally goes over and starts using his left sets and those kinda things. Sometimes as coaches, we take that for granted. And I...

Each NFL team is allowed up to six players with unlimited accrued seasons on its practice squad due to a recent change in league rules. Thus, if the Pittsburgh Steelers want to, they could try to stick Mason Rudolph on their practice squad going into the season. That would make sense to former NFL GM […]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did not hold back on Steelers third-round pick Drew Allar. He has major concerns with the rookie QB out of Penn State.
“When I’m watching him do three-step drops, that makes me incredibly nervous,” Roethlisberger said on his Footbahlin podcast. “You might say, ‘Why? You’re refining things.’ There’s a difference in refining things and teaching. When we did football camps, the first thing you’re teaching the youngest kids is how to do a three-step drop. …
“Maybe they’re working on the three-step drop to be more efficient. But it looked to me like it...
The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their coaching staff this offseason. There are a lot of new faces in the building, but it seems like things are going well.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach James Campen weighed in on offensive tackle Broderick Jones‘ status heading into the 2026 season. Jones has lost a significant amount of weight due to not being able to lift after undergoing neck surgery, but Campen confirmed that he’ll remain as an offensive tackle and not move to guard.
“He’ll play tackle. Obviously, he’ll be a tackle,” Campen said Wednesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. “And just hoping that he needs to get healthy, and he’s doing what he can now, and he does participate with all the doctor rules and those...
