Former Steelers safety defends Mike Tomlin in Week 12 blame game

Former Steelers safety defends Mike Tomlin in Week 12 blame game

Once a Steeler, always a Steeler. While appearing on ESPN’s First Take, former Steelers safety-turned-analyst Ryan Clark proved he will forever bleed Black and Gold.

Host Molly Qerim asked Clark if Head Coach Mike Tomlin was to blame for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Clark, demonstrating immense loyalty to his former coach, defended Tomlin’s most questionable call—the acceptance of the illegal touching by an offensive lineman penalty in the fourth quarter—stating it was the correct decision.

Clark added that making the field goal attempt tougher with the acceptance of the penalty could have paid dividends...

The post Browns Set Wild NFL Record in Win vs. Steelers appeared first on Steelers Now.

Despite out-gaining the Cleveland Browns 368-304 and winning the turnover battle 3-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers left snowy Cleveland with a 24-19 loss on Thursday night. Fourth downs ended up being the difference, as the Steelers went 1-3 on fourth downs, while the Browns were a perfect 4-4. Chris Boswell also missed a 58-yard field goal.

It certainly was a wild game on the shores of Lake Erie. In fact, the Browns did something that no other team in NFL history has accomplished. The Browns...

What is going on with WR Mike Williams?

What is going on with WR Mike Williams?

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Such is the life of the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers‘ wide receiver room. While the Steelers addressed potential depth issues through free agency, the draft, and the trade deadline with WRs Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson, and Mike Williams respectively, there has been almost nothing from these three to show for it.

Specifically, much of the hype surrounding the Williams acquisition leaves fans scratching their heads over why his usage has been so minimal.

His Week 10 debut saw him score the game-deciding TD, but he hasn’t received a single target in...

Is OC Arthur Smith wasting Russell Wilson's talent?

Is OC Arthur Smith wasting Russell Wilson's talent?

Are the fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers experiencing their own rendition of a Matt Canada-esque Groundhog Day with OC Arthur Smith? While Smith’s offense is schematically better than anything Canada did for the Steel City, his playcalling in recent weeks has left much to be desired.

From failed gadget plays with Justin Fields to obvious and predictable run calls, it appears Smith is wasting the talented arm of QB Russell Wilson.

It is understandable that Smith would attempt to run the ball in large quantities behind an offensive line that struggles with pass protection. However, Wilson has proven time and...

Myles Garrett calls out Steelers, T.J. Watt after Browns win: ‘I’m No. 1’

The Browns star didn’t hold back

The Steelers were dealt their third loss on Thursday night when the Browns defeated Pittsburgh 24-19. Cleveland earned the victory in large part because their star edge rusher showed up while Pittsburgh’s pass rush did not.

Myles Garrett finished the game with three sacks and a forced fumble and was one of the Browns’ top difference-makers in their win. He had some words for the Steelers, Steelers fans, and T.J. Watt after the game.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for [Watt], a lot of respect for all of the guys over there... but...
