Fresh off a much needed bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Seattle to face a 5-5 Seahawks team that has been a far cry from the one we have grown accustomed to in recent years. After back to back NFC championships, the Seahawks have struggled to find the consistency that has made them one of the best teams in the league throughout head coach Pete Carroll's tenure in Seattle. The Steelers are rested and looking to build off a two straight wins that coupled with the Cincinnati Bengals ... Read More
With AFC North lead down to two, can Steelers catch Bengals?
So maybe the AFC North race isn't quite over yet after all? That's up for debate considering the 8-2 Cincinnati Bengals hold a two-game lead with six games remaining in the regular season, but after losing to the Arizona Cardinals for their second consecutive defeat Sunday night, what was once considered an insurmountable divisional lead over the 6-4 Pittsburgh Steelers might not be so insurmountable after all. When the teams met at Heinz Field earlier this month, many considered the ... Read More
Mike Mitchell is bad guy Steelers need
Mike Mitchell is setting the tone for the revamped Pittsburgh Steelers defense. And he isn’t making any friends in the process. On the stat sheet, Mitchell is having a Pro Bowl-caliber year. He leads the team in interceptions, is tied for the most forced fumbles and is fourth in tackles. After a rough 2014 where he played with a bad groin, Mitchell looks like the player the Steelers envisioned when they signed him to a five-year, $25 million deal. But his stats may not be the biggest ... Read More
COLUMN: Why not the Steelers?
The other night I had the chance to watch one of my favorite episodes of "America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions." This one was the story of the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that went through their fair share of trials and tribulations before ultimately winning their first Super Bowl title in 26 years. A year removed from cruising to the best record in football, the Steelers reached their low point in a home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals who would win the division and force the ... Read More
Roethlisberger leads Steelers in win over Browns
When the Pittsburgh Steelers made Ben Roethlisberger active prior to Sunday's game, it raised a few eyebrows, given that the veteran quarterback was carted off of the field with a foot injury last week. In hindsight, the call couldn't have been better, as Roethlisberger came in to fill in for starter Landry Jones, who injured his left ankle. Best back-up quarterback in the league? Well, at least for one week, as Roethlisberger led the Steelers to a 30-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns on ... Read More
Landry Jones looking to click against Browns
In the past few months, much has changed for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Landry Jones. At one point in training camp back in August, some speculated, including yours truly, that Jones might not even make the team as he struggled through a third straight lackluster performance in Latrobe. Things have obviously changed for Jones in a season where injuries have been a theme for the Steelers so far this season. Few positions have been more affected by the injury bug than quarterback, and ... Read More
Brown, Williams lead Steelers to win over Raiders
Antonio Brown was simply dominant. With less than a minute left in the fourth quarter of a 35-35 game, the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver hauled in a Landry Jones pass and sprinted down the field before being tackled at the Oakland Raiders’ 15-yard line for a 57-yard reception. The catch resulted in Chris Boswell splitting the goal posts for a 19-yard game winning field goal. Brown finished the day with 17 catches and 284 receiving yards, both franchise records. The Steelers (5-4) won a ... Read More
Week 9 preview: Raiders visit Steelers with major playoff implications at stake
It's been a while since a regular season contest between the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers has had a playoff feel to it, but that's exactly what you can expect when the two longtime rivals clash this Sunday at Heinz Field. The Raiders (4-3) come into the contest winners of two straight, while the Steelers (4-4) are trying to halt their losing streak before it reaches three. Both teams are very much in the mix for the two Wild Card berths in the AFC, and the winner will take a big ... Read More
Three up, three down: Steelers vs. Bengals
Some losses are worse than others. It's a cliché used often in sports, but the Steelers gut-wrenching 16-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals would have to qualify. Not only did the loss effectively end any hopes of winning the AFC North, the Steelers also got even worse news late last night when it was reported by Steelers Depot that All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury suffered early in the second quarter yesterday at Heinz Field. So ... Read More
Report: Le’Veon Bell to miss remainder of season
For Le'Veon Bell, the good news is that he didn't tear his ACL, as many speculated when he first took his hit along the sideline during the Steelers loss to the Bengals. The bad news, though, is that according to multiple reports, first reported by Steelers Depot, is that Bell tore his MCL and will be out for the season.
