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
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.

Steelers’ wideouts need to step up vs. Dallas
Through eight games, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is averaging a little over 84 yards per game. And he has over 100 yards in just three of those games — against Washington (126 yards), the Philadelphia Eagles (140 yards) and the New England Patriots (106 yards). The rest of the Steelers’ wide receiving corps hasn’t fared much better. Pittsburgh’s wideouts have been riddled with injury — Markus Wheaton (shoulder), Eli Rogers (toe) and Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot) will all ... Read More
Election 2016: Which Steeler has your vote for president?
With the election happening today, we thought we’d put our own spin on it. So we asked some of our staffers which current Steeler would have their vote for president (ignoring the sometimes-inconvenient fact that a person has to be 35 years old to qualify). Their answers might surprise you! Gar Bercury: My choice for president? Oh boy, that's pretty easy! I’ve gotta go with James Harrison. I mean, let's get real, would you cross that guy under any circumstances? He’s a person who would get ... Read More

Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Ravens
What can really be said when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers' absolutely horrific loss to the Baltimore Ravens? Although the 21-14 final score might trick those who didn't spend their afternoon watching the game into believing it wasn't that bad, it was, in fact, even worse. Let's do the game's post mortem on the loss in this week's edition of “Three up, three down.” Three up: Artie Burns turning the corner? — With starting cornerback William Gay out of the lineup with an injury, rookie ...

Sloppy Steelers fall to Ravens, 21-14
Well, that was ugly. In Ben Roethlisberger’s first game back from a left knee injury (just 21 days after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus), the Pittsburgh Steelers’ high-powered offense failed to click, and the Steelers (4-4) fell to the Baltimore Ravens (4-4), 21-14. With the win, the Ravens take over the top spot in the AFC North. Roethlisberger is now 2-6 in his first game back from injury. During the week, a lot of attention was focused on Roethlisberger’s injury and ... Read More
Ben Roethlisberger to start Sunday’s game vs. Ravens
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start Sunday's game vs. the Baltimore Ravens. He had previously been a game-time decision. Roethlisberger suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee in Pittsburgh’s Week 6 loss to the Miami Dolphins and underwent surgery the following Monday (Oct. 17). He was originally projected to be out for at least four weeks — and up to six — but he’ll only miss one game (against the New England Patriots) thanks to Pittsburgh’s bye last week. At ... Read More
