Did you watch the early NFL games yesterday? Of course you watched the Steelers game — there were 15,000 empty seats, so chances are you watched it from home — but did you check out the other games at all? When I turned on my TV yesterday, I saw that the fields in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington and especially Philadelphia were covered in snow. The RedZone channel flipped to the Eagles game and I literally couldn't tell which team had the ball. The referees had to stop the game to get a ... Read More

Coming into Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers playoffs hopes were slim. After their wild and crazy 34-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field, those postseason hopes have completely evaporated. The Steelers trailed twice in the second half, only to come back both times to take the lead, but ultimately the defense gave up too many big plays again and the black-and-gold had to suffer yet another tough loss. It's almost fitting the Steelers lost by inches on the final play of the game because ... Read More

PITTSBURGH -- Once the Miami Dolphins got used to the snow, the Pittsburgh Steelers were no problem. Charles Clay caught two touchdowns, including a 12-yard pass from Ryan Tannehill with 2:53 remaining and the Miami Dolphins beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-28 on Sunday. Daniel Thomas ran for 105 yards and a score. His zig-zag 55-yard yard burst at snowy Heinz Field set up Clay's game-winner. Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 201 yards and three scores for the Dolphins (7-6). Miami ... Read More

According to Jason La Canfora and Pro Football Talk, the Steelers will, in fact, lost a draft pick for Mike Tomlin's actions on Thanksgiving against the Baltimore Ravens. La Canfora said the league won't decide on which pick to take away until the spring, when all of the compensatory picks are sent. The report says while many thought it was just a threat, they will, in fact, lose a pick. If the tie-breaker of total points is used against the Ravens, it could be higher. La Canfora said ...

A handful of intriguing storylines will play out Sunday at Heinz Field in a battle between two mediocre teams still, remarkably, very much in contention for an AFC playoff berth. The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) host the Miami Dolphins (6-6) in a Week 14 matchup that may determine which team will stay on the tail of the Baltimore Ravens (6-6) for the coveted Wild Card spot. A Steelers loss would all but eliminate them while a victory would move them ahead of Miami in the standings due to the ... Read More

If you let the vocal Steeler Nation tell the story, it would read that Roger Goodell and the NFL have a personal vendetta out against the Steelers, a storied program that has held prestige for so many years. But when you look at the facts, is it a vendetta? Or is it the fact that the NFL commissioner is simply holding the Steelers to a higher standard? Yes, there’s a difference between the two and I believe it’s the latter. To squash the misconception that the NFL holds a grudge against ... Read More

When the average NFL team is suffering through a pedestrian, occasionally embarrassing 5-7 season, they often have no business making league headlines week after week.  The Pittsburgh Steelers are, apparently, hardly average.  For a franchise that has experienced so much success in the Super Bowl era and, more recently, in the past decade, the Steelers are certainly going through a strange and difficult time. It began with four losses to start the season.  Then, after appearing to right the ... Read More

The NFL has announced that it has fined Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin $100,00 for his actions against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. While watching the jumbotron, Tomlin stepped on to the field of play, interfering with Jacoby Jones return. During his weekly press conference, Tomlin apologized for his actions and called it an 'inexcusable blunder.' Tomlin went on to say that his actions were not intentional, and that if the Rooney's though they were, he wouldn't have ... Read More
