Don't look now, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are — once again — catching fire in December. After four straight losses looked to have the team's playoff hopes on life support, the Steelers (8-5) have now reeled off four consecutive wins, the latest an impressive 27-20 win over the Buffalo Bills (6-7) at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The win pushes the Steelers closer to an AFC North division crown with another critical road test head this Sunday when the team travels to Cincinnati to face the ... Read More
Grades: Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ win streak is now at four games. It’s perfect timing for the Steelers, who are making a push to be AFC North champions; they’re now ahead of the Baltimore Ravens.

Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Browns
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the playoffs. It certainly was not easy considering the laundry list of injuries and misfortune that was bestowed upon the Black and Gold all season, but thanks to the combination of a sloppy 28-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns and a little help from the Buffalo Bills, the Steelers now will head to Cincinnati to play the Bengals in the AFC Wild Card Saturday night. Three up: *Give Antonio Brown credit, he's been dominant week in, week out no ... Read More
Steelers defense bowled over by Bills
One week after holding the high-powered offense of the Green Bay Packers to 19 points, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was humiliated in a 43-19 drubbing at the hands of the once-lowly Buffalo Bills. The Steelers defense struggled mightily from the Bills first offensive snap, as Fred Jackson rumbled 41 yards through the secondary, all the way down to the Steelers 2-yard line. Two plays later, he gave the Bills an early lead with a 1-yard touchdown. The Steelers defense was shredded by both the ... Read More

Pittsburgh Steelers Show Promising Signs In Preseason Win Over Buffalo
The Pittsburgh Steelers are pinning their revival hopes on a high-flying offense and a rejuvenated defense.

Pittsburgh's first exhibition win since Aug. 30, 2012 - a span of five games - featured a nearly-flawless Ben Roethlisberger and a dynamic performance from rookie ... Read More
Steelers Week 10 Report card
After perhaps their most embarrassing effort in franchise history just one week ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers responded with one of their better efforts of the 2013 season on both sides of the ball Sunday in a 23-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills. While they were facing a rookie quarterback in E.J. Manuel who looked rusty and didn't present much of a challenge, a win is a win for a team desperate for them at this point in the season. For a change, there were a lot of good things to breakdown ... Read More
Fantasy Question: Fred Jackson or C.J. Spiller?
Questions have been asked throughout the past few weeks about the Buffalo backfield. Who to start, Fred Jackson or C.J. Spiller? Here are my thoughts on the Buffalo running back situation.

Jackson became a steal in certain drafts these past couple years, as he has ran for 900+ yards the past two ... Read More
