The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, but oddsmakers don’t expect the Steelers to start a winning streak. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, the Steelers are consensus 3.5-point underdogs, per VSiN. The Chargers are coming off a win over the Tennessee Titans […]

PITTSBURGH — Instead of engaging in extracurriculars, DK Metcalf chose not to dangle his checkbook in harm’s way. The Pittsburgh Steelers star wideout is better off for it.
Metcalf was asked why he ran away after Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones tried to kick up dust late in the first half of the Steelers’ 27-20 win on Sunday.
“Don’t say that,” he said, shaking his head disapprovingly. “You know I ain’t running away.”
Okay, well, maybe he didn’t run. Why would the guy who’s built like a Bionicle dodge a pesky defensive back?
Instead, let’s say he tactically retreated. Or...
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was carrying plenty of baggage entering Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
A defense hyped as potentially historic had been shredded in consecutive weeks by the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers, evaporating much of the Steelers’ lead in the AFC North in the process while the team’s undermanned offense suddenly surged, but the defense let them down.
Then, injuries started to pile up in the secondary, where DeShon Elliott will miss the rest of the season and Jabrill Peppers and Chuck Clark.
As if that wasn’t enough, hovering behind the team all weekend...
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. At least that’s the approach I hope Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers take with their new safety tandem of Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger. The two played nearly every snap as Pittsburgh’s defense shut down the NFL’s top offense on the way to an unlikely 27-20 victory […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed after Sunday’s 27-20 upset win over the Indianapolis Colts that veteran defensive back Jalen Ramsey gave an impassioned speech to the team on Saturday night.
“I noticed that something kind of changed last night when Jalen spoke,” Rodgers said when asked about defensive players saying they brought a different energy on Sunday. “It’s not easy to speak in front of the team, even when you’re a player. It’s unnatural. They do it every day. Mike [Tomlin] is fantastic about it. Jalen went on and on. Had the attention of the room. He...
Another wide receiver option is off the table for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are believed to be buyers at the NFL trade deadline coming off an impressive 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts and still a clear need at wide receiver. However, that potential acquisition will not come from the Tennessee Titans.
According to Turron Davenport of ESPN, the Titans are not shopping veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley, despite recent reports. Tennessee has reportedly received calls about Ridley, among other players.
The #Titans are not shopping Calvin Ridley as some reports are saying. Confirmed with multiple team...
Sunday was a really important day for the Pittsburgh Steelers defensively. They struggled mightily in the past two weeks and faced a tough matchup against an Indianapolis Colts offense that rolled into this game playing at a historically good level. Things didn’t get off to the greatest start. The Colts scored on their first drive […]

Kyle Dugger hasn’t been with the Pittsburgh Steelers for very long, but he didn’t look out of place in his first game with them. While the Steelers only traded for Dugger less than a week ago, he played nearly the entire game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran safety was on the field for […]

For the sixth-straight week, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense scored 20-plus points; however, the veteran quarterback wants more.
Many doubted Pittsburgh before their Week Nine tilt against the Indianapolis Colts, but after a strong performance on both sides of the ball, the team improved to 5-3. The defensive unit had its best outing of the season, holding Indianapolis’ top-five offense to just 20 points.
Offensively, Rodgers threw for 203 yards and a touchdown. As the veteran continues his hot start in the black and gold, it is evident he wants it all.
Rodgers’ blunt response to Steelers’ 27-20...

The Pittsburgh Steelers came into the weekend as home underdogs but were able to pull off the 27-20 upset win over the Indianapolis Colts and extend their lead in the AFC North.
The defense turned in a vintage performance, forcing a half dozen turnovers and getting a bit of revenge on Colts play caller Shane Steichen, who has had their number for years now. Mike Tomlin’s club definitely made the city proud as the organization honored the 2005 Super Bowl XL team this weekend.
Let’s take a look at some winners and losers from Sunday’s contest.
