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

How should the Steelers contain Prescott and Elliott?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a tendency to show rookie quarterbacks a stern welcome to the NFL — just look at what they did to Andy Dalton and Johnny Manziel in each's first year as a pro. In particular, linebacker James Harrison gave the two a lesson they’ll likely never forget. On Sunday, the Steelers will host another rookie quarterback, Dak Prescott, when he comes to Heinz Field with his Dallas Cowboys. While there had been rumors swirling that longtime Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo would ... Read More

The Dark Horses: Chris Boswell and Jordan Berry
There’s no denying how important special teams can be during an NFL game — just look at the Week 7 game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. Kickers Chandler Catanzaro and Steven Hauschka were on at the beginning of the game, but when it came to two short overtime field goals, they both missed — and the game ended in a 6-6 tie. The Pittsburgh Steelers know about the importance of special teams — and, especially, kickers — after a disastrous start to last season. In previous ... Read More
Grades: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots
The Pittsburgh Steelers might have lost to the New England Patriots on Sunday, 27-16, but it wasn’t the blowout many thought it would be. Give the Steelers some credit: They held their own against what is considered to be the best offense in the NFL.

Now, the Steelers head into their much-needed bye week where they'll get some rest and ... Read More
What’s going on with Antonio Brown?
The Pittsburgh Steelers might not have their quarterback this Sunday against the New England Patriots, but they still have one of the most explosive offensive weapons at their helm. Or, do they?

However, consistency isn’t on his side this season and he hasn't been able to put up similar numbers to last season, which was his best year since donning a Steelers uniform. Brown has five touchdowns to his nam heading into ... Read More
Grades: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins
The Pittsburgh Steelers were embarrassed by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in a 30-15 loss.

Now, the Steelers are heading into a tough Sunday game against the New England Patriots without Pittsburgh's leading man. Who will step up for the Steelers? But let's first take a look at how we graded the Steelers' performance against the Dolphins down ... Read More
