The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to continue their winning streak on Sunday vs. the Kansas City Chiefs at Heinz Field, but will likely have to do so without a couple bodies in their secondary. Both safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor are listed as doubtful for Sunday's tilt. Polamalu (knee) didn't practice at all this week and looks like he will be out of action. If that is indeed the case, veteran Will Allen will likely draw the starting nod opposite Mike Mitchell. There's ... Read More
Steelers look to extend Chiefs WR futility streak
The Kansas City Chiefs come to Heinz Field Sunday in a match up with serious playoff implications. By now, you probably know a Pittsburgh Steelers victory will ensure their first trip to the postseason in three seasons and put them in position for a winner take all divisional showdown next weekend at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs on the other hand, face a must-win scenario, as a loss would almost certainly eliminate them from the crazy AFC Wild Card race. If the Chiefs are ... Read More
Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown finish in Top 10 of Pro Bowl balloting
Given the way their offense has performed at times this season, the Pittsburgh Steelers should be well represented in this year’s Pro Bowl. The fans at least have recognized what the Steelers have done so far. Both Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown finished in the Top 10 overall as the fan vote came to a close on Wednesday. Bell (702,782 votes) finished with the sixth most votes overall, while Brown (644,093) finished eighth. Bell finished second among all NFL running backs (DeMarco ... Read More
Steelers “power trio” of Roethlisberger, Brown, and Bell are making NFL history
When you consider the incredible performances this season of the Pittsburgh Steelers trio of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le'Veon Bell, it's simply impossible to argue there is a better combination of quarterback, wide receiver, and running back in the NFL today. In fact, when you consider the seasons each player is having in 2014, it's hard to come up with many combinations that have been better in NFL history. Don't get me wrong, there's been some great trios over the years, ... Read More
Pittsburgh Steelers Report Card after big win vs. Falcons
The Pittsburgh Steelers may be hitting their stride at the right time, coming away with a big 27-20 victory against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, in Atlanta. There was a lot to like about the Steelers performance as they inched closer to a playoff spot with the win. With that being said, let’s take a look at how the Steelers graded out in my weekly Pittsburgh Steelers Report Card. Quarterback- Ben Roethlisberger didn’t throw a touchdown pass, but more importantly didn’t throw an ... Read More
Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell named AFC offensive player of the week
Who knew what the Steelers had when they drafted Le'Veon Bell out of Michigan State last year in the second round. Bell, a three-down, workhorse back, has carried the load for the Steelers' offense for much of the season. In Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Bell once again carried the load for the Steelers, and the rest of the league took notice, as he was named the AFC offensive player of the week. Bell rushed for 185 yards on 26 carries during the game, and he ... Read More
Jarvis Jones to return for Steelers vs. Bengals
As the 2014 NFL season enters its final weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to get healthy, especially on the defensive side of the ball. After both Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor made their returns from injuries last week, last year’s first-round pick Jarvis Jones will make his return this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones hasn’t played since Week 3 after having had pins put in his wrist after he dislocated his right wrist while sacking and forcing a fumble of Carolina ... Read More
Steelers’ secondary controls playoff fate
As bad as Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense was during Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, the Steelers have a bigger problem to worry about as the team prepares for its final four games. That is whether or not their porous secondary will result in them sitting home for the postseason for the third consecutive season. Steelers’ general manager Kevin Colbert has ignored the need, other than signing Mike Mitchell to replace an aging Ryan Clark, despite the signs ... Read More
Stephon Tuitt being asked to grow up fast for the Steelers
With Brett Keisel's season ending injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers will once again have to find a way to replace a key starter on a defense that not only has been unable to find continuity on the field, but simply can't stay healthy. Injuries have forced the Steelers to lean on players that were not expected to play significant roles this season, some of which did not even start the season on the active roster. Players like Will Allen, Sean Spence, Arthur Moats, Brice McCain, B.W. Webb, ... Read More
Le’Veon Bell restores faith in ‘Steelers Football’
As silly as it may sound to some around the league, in this day of elite quarterbacks and high-powered offenses, Pittsburgh Steelers fans love their “Steelers Football.” By that, obviously I’m talking about running the football. Often at Heinz Field, the roar of the crowd is louder for a four-yard run that results in a first down when the running back should have been stopped for a loss, than it is for an 80-yard touchdown pass. Unfortunately those same Steelers fans haven’t had much to ... Read More
