The Pittsburgh Steelers snapped a four-game losing streak with their 24-9 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns. Granted, it was the Browns, but, for the Steelers right now, a win's a win. The Steelers are now tied with the Baltimore Ravens at the top of the AFC North with 5-5 records. The Bengals are behind those two teams with a 3-6-1 record, and the Browns are in last place (of both the division and the NFL) with an 0-11 record. The Steelers will have their second away game in a row ... Read More
Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Browns
The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in an unusual situation when they faced they Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium in cold, blustery conditions yesterday afternoon: Pittsburgh had lost its last four games. It's not often the Steelers are mired in a four-game swoon, so it goes without saying they were desperate to get a win. And there's no better way to get back on track than to play the winless Browns. Thanks to a stifling defense and a workman-like effort from the offense, ... Read More
Tomlin doubles down on “questionable” officiating in Monday’s presser
A day after calling the officiating in Sunday’s game “questionable,” Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin doubled down on his statement, saying Monday in a press conference that he was “just kind of disturbed by some of it.” “It’s a natural human response,” Tomlin said. “I know (the refs) got a tough job. I respect the job that they have to do. But we’ve got tough jobs, as well.” Sunday, against the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh was penalized eight times for 70 yards. Tomlin appeared ... Read More

James Harrison becomes Steelers’ all-time sack leader
After Sunday’s game, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison was choked up and near tears. It wasn’t that the team had lost, that he was seriously injured or that he had had a bad game — it was that the emotion of becoming the Steelers’ all-time sack leader overtook him. “I was thinking about my father, how he’s not here for it,” Harrison said. Harrison’s father, James Sr., passed away this May at the age of 76. So, Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, when Harrison sacked ... Read More
Steelers dominate Browns 24-9 in win at FirstEnergy Stadium
Even though the opponent was the winless Cleveland Browns (0-11), the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-5) can still take some satisfaction from a much-needed win, 24-9, Sunday afternoon on the road at FirstEnergy Stadium. Pittsburgh is now 30-6 against the Browns since 1999. The win snapped the Steelers’ four-game losing streak and moved them back to the top of the AFC North standings, where they’re now tied with the Baltimore Ravens. In the win, Pittsburgh still looked far from perfect, especially ... Read More
Even if Steelers beat Browns, Tomlin is still on hot seat
The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently riding a four-game losing streak. On Sunday, they'll look to snap it when they head to FirstEnergy Stadium to face the Cleveland Browns. The Browns, with their 0-10 record, should — on paper — be an easy win for the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger has handed plenty of losses to the Browns and, earlier this week, he admitted he can’t list all the names of the Cleveland quarterbacks he’s faced. So if Pittsburgh gets a win against the Browns and the Steelers ... Read More
Are injuries derailing the Steelers’ season?
What's ailing the Pittsburgh Steelers these days? Past the halfway point in the season with the team staring at its 4-5 record, there seem to be plenty of theories being thrown about by fans, players and coaches alike. Is it poor coaching, as some have suggested in the wake of the excruciating, last-second loss to what might be the best team in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys? Although there could be some credence to that argument, especially after four straight losses, I'm not sure that's ... Read More
Grades: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Pittsburgh Steelers are now riding a four-game losing streak after their 35-30 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. On the other side of things, Dallas won its eighth-straight game. The Steelers had a chance to win the game, especially after going up near the end of the fourth quarter. However, the defense faltered once again, letting Ezekiel Elliott run all over them and score a touchdown with nine seconds left. Sunday's loss wasn’t as negative as the one to the Baltimore Ravens in ... Read More
