Remember, no matter how bad you may feel just know that at least you're not a Cleveland Browns fan. If you are... you on your own fam lol — Bad Hombre (@TheBardockObama) November 20, 2016 3.

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
DE Cam Heyward done for season
On Instagram, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward announced he's out for the remainder of the 2016 season with a pectoral injury. He wrote: “I would like to thank everyone who has been in my corner this season. It pains me to say that I will not get to continue playing this season. My role will change as I can not play but it will not change the goals the team has set out. My support for this team will only grow and I look forward in watching this team grow and fight on. Hate being ... Read More
Mike Tomlin was right to go for two
In Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers attempted four 2-point conversions — and were successful on exactly zero of them. The failure led to many fans calling for head coach Mike Tomlin’s head. Some even wanted him gone right then and there, middle of the game be damned. But everyone needs to just calm down for a second. If you look at the math, Tomlin was completely right to go for two points against the Cowboys, at least on the first conversion and probably on the ... Read More
Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Cowboys
What a game. And what a loss. The Pittsburgh Steelers (4-5) almost held on to beat the Dallas Cowboys (8-1) but ending up falling, 35-30, on a last-second touchdown run by Ezekiel Elliott. Here's this week’s edition of “Three up, three down.” Three up: Roethlisberger shines at Heinz Field— Well, you certainly can't blame the crushing loss to the Cowboys on the Steelers' franchise signal caller. Once again, Ben Roethlisberger put up massive numbers at home, tallying 408 yards through the air ... Read More
