The Pittsburgh Steelers, owners of a three-game winning streak, will head into Sunday's game against the 1-8 New York Jets minus two key starters on defense. Both safety Troy Polamalu (knee) and linebacker Ryan Shazier (ankle), along with backup safety Shamarko Thomas (hamstring) have already been ruled out for Sunday by head coach Mike Tomlin. Polamalu, who sprained his knee in Sunday night's win over the Baltimore Ravens, will miss his first game since 2012. He had played every snap ... Read More

Ben’s six touchdowns power Steelers past Ravens
Ben Roethlisberger threw six touchdowns for the second consecutive game as the Pittsburgh Steelers walloped the Baltimore Ravens 43-23 on Sunday Night Football. The win puts the Steelers in first place in the AFC North while the Ravens fall into dead last.

On the first play of their second possession, the Ravens ... Read More

Pittsburgh Penguins use strong goaltending and powerplay to beat Buffalo 5-0
Anytime you face a struggling team in your own building you want to jump on them early and leave no doubt who the superior team is. The Penguins succeeded tremendously in that quest Saturday night en route to a 5-0 thrashing of the Buffalo Sabres. Pittsburgh (7-2-1) controlled the first period by outshooting the Sabres 12-3 and spent most of the period camped out in the Sabres (2-9-1) end of the ice. They were also staked to a 1-0 lead when Chris Kunitz buried a rebound past Jhonas Enroth four ... Read More
Maryland hands Penn State fourth straight loss
Despite a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty before the game began, Maryland (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) topped Penn State (4-4, 1-3 Big Ten) 20-19 after a field goal late in the fourth quarter gave them the edge. Maryland opened the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown pass from quarterback C.J. Brown to tight end P.J. Gallo to take a four-point lead after a Penn State field goal in the first. Following two spectacular catches from Amba Etta-Tawo and Stefon Diggs, running back Wes Brown took ... Read More
Pitt Panthers miss field goal as time expires, lose in double overtime to Duke
The storyline never seems to change much for the Pitt Panthers. Pitt (4-5, 2-3 ACC) missed a golden opportunity to win the game in regulation when kicker Chris Blewitt missed a 26-yard field goal and instead sent the game to overtime. Duke backup quarterback Thomas Sirk scored his second touchdown of the day in overtime to give the Blue Devils (7-1, 3-1 ACC) a 51-48 victory at Heinz Field. Defense was definitely optional in the first half as both teams traded punch for punch on the way to a ... Read More
