Things did not go well for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. They should’ve beaten the Cleveland Browns, but they got in their own way too much. They are still 8-3. This doesn’t collapse their season. However, if they allow the problems that plagued them against the Browns to continue, they could be in trouble. […]

The post Steelers Rush Attack Not Pointing Fingers After Struggles vs. Browns appeared first on Steelers Now.

CLEVELAND — The Pittsburgh Steelers have had one of the best rush attacks in the NFL. In fact, they’re currently averaging the eighth-most rushing yards per game (135.2) in the league. That wasn’t the case in the team’s 24-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns on “Thursday Night Football,” though.

The Steelers didn’t have a player rush for more than 45 yards while averaging just 3.5 yards per carry on 34 attempts. Running back Jaylen Warren, who led the team with 45 yards and...

The Cleveland Browns’ final possession Thursday night was full of referee intervention, but none of the calls quite broke the Pittsburgh Steelers’ way. The most notable penalty, and one that likely would have won the game for the Steelers, was the lack of an intentional grounding penalty on third down. It would have made it […]

Leading up to Week 12, Mike Tomlin was a favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year. That might not be true after the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns, 24-19. The Steelers did not play their best game in all aspects. Tomlin was in poor form too, struggling to use timeouts and making […]

Since the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to veteran QB Russell Wilson as their starter, the talk about there being a special package for backup QB Justin Fields has gotten louder and louder. It reached a crescendo last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens as the Steelers finally dusted off the Fields package and had some success with […]

Season 15, Episode 55 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday afternoon episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Thursday night road loss to the Cleveland Browns and how several of the key stats were lopsided in their favor. We go over the pregame […]

It’s true the players make the plays. And the Pittsburgh Steelers’ unit didn’t make enough of them in Thursday night’s loss to the Cleveland Browns. But the coaching decisions of Mike Tomlin was an anchor that only weighed the team down. For beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, it was a true top-down loss with Tomlin being […]

It was pretty evident from the first time he stepped onto the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers that WR George Pickens is a little bit of a different animal. With that comes a lot of great things like his ability to make spectacular plays with great hands and body control, but it also comes with […]

For the third time since Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback situation to resolve in the offseason.

Pittsburgh would be wise to ink the younger, more athletic Justin Fields to a long-term contract, but a Steelers insider believes it’ll be Russell Wilson.

It’s pure speculation, but when asked his opinion on who the Steelers will sign between the two, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette responded:

The same guy they picked first in free agency and the same guy who was put in as the starter in Week 7.

Signing Wilson beyond 2024 was [part of...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Thursday night game was a strange one. They didn’t play well enough to beat the Cleveland Browns, and that came with several odd plays. One penalty called on Beanie Bishop Jr. seemed particularly puzzling. On the Browns’ final drive, Bishop got called for a delay of game penalty after trying to knock […]

Huge news out of New York on Friday with the Giants releasing former first-round pick Daniel Jones. According to reports, this was a mutually-agreed upon breakup between Jones and the Giants.

So before anyone asks, let’s be sure we are all clear. The Pittsburgh Steelers will not sign Jones this season. That’s not to say if Jones is on the market after the season ends, the Steelers might not entertain the idea but for now, the Steelers have enough quarterback problems to deal with without adding Jones to the mix.

Jones was the No. 6 overall pick in 2019. He...

Winners and losers from Week 12

The Steelers’ loss to the Browns is hard to swallow after they mounted a comeback and let it slip away. Now at 8-3, the Steelers have a mini-bye week to prepare for a trip to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. Before then, though, let’s dive into the winners and losers from Week 12.

QB Russell Wilson

Russ played well. He wasn’t perfect, taking multiple sacks that were more on him than the offensive line, but he was nearly flawless through the air. He went 21-of-28 for 270 and the go-ahead touchdown...
