The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a win on Sunday and got one in a big fashion, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 43-18. For a change there was very little to complain about on either side of the football. How did the Steelers grade out at each position? Let’s take a look. Quarterback- Ben Roethlisberger was once again fantastic. There’s no other way to put it after completing 21-of-27 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to the three touchdowns there were also a pair ... Read More

Three up and Three down: Steelers vs. 49ers

Week 2 preview: Steelers look to bounce back at home against 49ers

With Jim Harbaugh moving on to the University of Michigan, Pittsburgh's own Jim Tomsula is now in ... Read More
The Super Bowl that Could Have Been
If I take my personal allegiance to the Steelers away, there is one play in Super Bowl history that stands above all others for me. It was Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams and the Titans. Six seconds remained; Tennessee was down 23-16 and had the ball at the Rams 10-yard line. One last chance to punch it in. The late quarterback Steve McNair dropped back in the pocket (maybe the only time he threw from the pocket that game) and suddenly saw a streaking Kevin Dyson at the five-yard line. Dyson ...

Super Bowl Weekend Mock Draft
Steelers 2013 Mock Draft: Round 1.) Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon Jordan has the look of one of the next monster pass rushers in the NFL. He is very athletic at 6'6" and around 250 pounds. Jordan also has great quickness off the edge and has been compared to San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith. Jordan may still be a bit raw and may need time before stepping in as a starter which could drop his value a bit. If he falls into the Steelers laps they will likely take him without much ...
