For years, the Cleveland Browns have been the AFC North’s punching bag. While the other three teams are usually competitive, the Browns are in freefall more often than not. This year isn’t much different. However, that doesn’t mean the Pittsburgh Steelers are easily going to beat them Thursday night. The Browns still have a talented […]

On a short week, it isn’t atypical to see a ton of names on the injury report for both teams. But both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns appear to be in pretty good shape for Thursday Night Football. The Steelers have two players ruled out, and the Browns have the same. This Wednesday injury […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ (8-2) second divisional matchup of the season is the highly-anticipated brawl with the Cleveland Browns (2-8).

The Steelers are riding a five-game win streak (NFL second-best to Bills) and will fight tooth-and-nail to extend it by another at Huntington Bank Field on Thursday.

Here’s a look at the final injury and practice participation report of Browns week:

George Pickens is proving to be one of the NFL’s most explosive wide receivers in 2024, sitting fourth in receiving yards with 728 yards through the first 10 games of the season. His performance has been instrumental in helping the Pittsburgh Steelers reach a strong 8-2 record and secure 1st place in the AFC North after their dramatic 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Despite being in just his third season, Pickens has made a name for himself as one of the league’s top...

A look at the greatest defensive efforts after ten games

The 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers defense is on pace to be among the franchise’s greats. Through ten games, the team currently has the NFL’s second-best scoring defense, allowing 162 total points, good for 16.2 points per game. That point total is the best in close to 20 years. Only 14 Pittsburgh defenses in the Super Bowl era have been better after ten games. Let’s look at the greatest defensive starts of the last 52 years.

Cameron Heyward’s career in Pittsburgh...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their Wednesday injury report ahead of their Week 12 game against the Cleveland Browns, their final report before tomorrow night’s game. Per the team, EDGE Alex Highsmith and CB Cory Trice Jr. have been ruled out. No one else on the roster has a game status. Trice practiced fully this […]

T.J. Watt isn’t on the ridiculous sack pace that we are used to seeing from him for a variety of reasons. Near the top of that list is the amount of chips and double teams that he is faces. We have heard it from nearly every opposing coach all season. They are very focused on […]

We go over the Steelers’ injury report coming out of Tuesday with this […]

These former Steelers have a shot at Canton.

It’s a long, drawn out process to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but two former Steelers have taken the next step. The Hall of Fame announced its 2025 modern-era semifinalists, with James Harrison and Hines Ward being two of the 25 names.

Ward is one of the best wide receivers in Steelers history and possibly the greatest blocking receiver to ever do it. He’s logged plenty of accolades: four Pro Bowls, two Super Bowls, and the MVP award from Super Bowl XL. He’s Pittsburgh’s all-time leading receiver with 12,083 receiving...

For the third season, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero created an exhaustive list of up-and-coming potential future NFL head coaches. An initial list of 22 names that could be discussed in the 2025 cycle with another CVS-list of names for 2026 and beyond. A real who’s-who of budding stars serving as assistants on current coaching staffs. […]

The Steelers have had little success in Cleveland as of late.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-2 after a hard-fought win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Now, on a short week, they will travel to Cleveland to face the 2-8 Browns on Thursday Night Football. And while the Steelers are the better team, history says this will be a game that they drop.

For starters, the Steelers are a mere 2-4-1 in Cleveland since 2017. Plus, playing on the road on a short week following a tough win over their arch rivals is a big factor to take into...
