There’s been quite some restlessness for Pittsburgh Steelers fans this NFL offseason due to star running back Le’Veon Bell’s camp holdout. Bell is seeking a more lucrative long-term deal to what the Steelers had initially offered him prior to the July 17 deadline for extensions for franchise players. It’s been a month since that deadline, […]

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker and gym rat James Harrison is all good with him relinquishing his starter role to rookie T.J. Watt in the coming NFL season. It was reported earlier that the Steelers are aiming to start Watt right out of the gates, which means Harrison will now be relegated a notch lower in […]

During the franchise’s dynasty of the 1970s, the household names in Pittsburgh revolved around the Steelers’ defense. From their bruising linebackers, headlined by Jack Lambert and Jack Ham, to their towering defensive line, those teams boasted a menacing front seven. Then, the new era came of Polamalu, Porter, Farrior, Woodley, Aaron Smith, and Ike Taylor, […]

In this year’s NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected former Wisconsin outside linebacker T.J. Watt with the 30th overall pick. This was a clear signal that the Steelers are looking for an eventual replacement for former All-Pro outside linebacker James Harrison, who is set to enter his 14th year in the league. According to Ed […]

Earlier in the NFL offseason, Pittsburgh Steelers placed All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell on a franchise tag but were unable to agree to a long-term deal prior to last month’s deadline. This has created a cloud of uncertainty around Bell’s future with the organization beyond next season. In light of that, head coach Mike Tomlin […]

It’s been a long and winding road, but we’ve finally made it to the NFL’s Wild Card playoffs. On Saturday, one of the best tournaments in sports will finally kick off. Unfortunately, injuries to key players have dimmed the excitement for a few teams. The Raiders‘ grand return to the postseason after 14 years away […]

With or without Le’Veon Bell, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a good football team. But, with him, their offense is able to soar to pretty incredible heights. In just 12 games after coming back from a suspension, Bell has amassed 1,268 rushing yards and another 616 through the air. His duel-threat abilities make him a nearly […]

Time flies by when you having fun. It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in the final week of the regular season, and there are plenty of NFL playoff scenarios left to sort out. A lot was decided in Week 16, though. The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos were all eliminated […]

Christmas Day is usually a joyous time spent with family and friends, but there won’t be any love lost at Heinz Field on Sunday. With the AFC North crown at stake, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will face off this weekend in perhaps the modern NFL’s best rivalry. If the Steelers win, they clinch […]

Skittles’ business (and personal) relationship with Marshawn Lynch was well-documented, but with the star running back retired, they’ve turned to Antonio Brown as their NFL spokesman. Previously, they gifted the Steelers‘ dominant receiver Skittles-themed dancing shoes, a jacket, and gloves. However, none of those items compare to the present they bestowed upon him this week. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have found a number of ways to falter during their four-game losing streak. One week, the offense is stagnant. The next, the defense can’t make a stop. The latter was the case on Sunday. The Steelers acquired a total of 448 yards, with Ben Roethlisberger piling up 408 passing yards and three […]

Dak Prescott has been on an incredible run that nobody expected on the day of the draft. The rookie, who was selected in the 4th round, has led the Cowboys to seven straight wins and a 7-1 start. Many believe this is the most impressive rookie campaign they’ve ever seen from a QB. But, they’ve […]

Marcus Gilbert wants Cam Newton to pipe down with his complaints about the NFL’s officiating. After taking another cheap hit that was not flagged on Sunday, Newton told reporters that he plans on talking to Roger Goodell. In Newton’s opinion, he’s been on the receiving end of a number of hits that haven’t been penalized, […]

There was hope that Ben Roethlisberger‘s knee injury wouldn’t keep him out for more than a couple games or so. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday, and the original timetable for his return was two-to-three weeks. However, ESPN’s Chris Mortenson now reports that the above timetable has been moved back to four-to-six […]

We’re five weeks into the 2016 NFL season, and every team is dealing with an array of injures. The Pittsburgh Steelers are just as beat up, if not more, than other teams across the league. Ben Roethlisberger believes he knows why. The injury report for the Steelers just continues to grow each week. At the […]

The NFL is living up to its “No Fun League” nickname, cracking down on celebrations to a ridiculous extent. Unsportmanslike conduct penalties are up 55.6% this season, according to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. Here are some of the prohibited celebrations: The list includes throat slashes, machine-gun salutes, sexually suggestive gestures, prolonged gyrations and stomping on a […]

Earlier this week, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor claimed that the Browns are capable of winning their remaining 13 games after starting 0-3. He believes they’re about to get over the hump, and all they need is the right mindset. From Pryor: “We’re so close to getting over that hump,” said Pryor, who played […]

Week 3 was a struggle for the Pittsburgh Steelers, so with one of their best offensive players set to comeback, they don’t plan to ease him in. After serving his 3-game suspension for not taking a drug test, Le’Veon Bell will return to the field this weekend for the Steelers. With a strong opponent in […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers currently sit at 2-1, good for second place in the AFC North. The team struggled in Week 3 and never found the end zone against the Eagles. They will head back home in Week 4 to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The scary part about that prime time game for the […]

Ben Roethlisberger has been playing with Antonio Brown for six years now. The two have formed a relationship that has made them into one of the best QB-WR combos in the entire league. Nevertheless, there are still some games where they struggle to connect. The Steelers‘ last game against the Bengals was one of those […]

Antonio Brown is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL. After a slow first three years of his career, Brown has exploded onto the scene to become unstoppable. In his last three seasons, Brown has caught more than 100 balls for over 1,400 yards each year. It would be a surprise to see Brown […]

The Steelers and Bengals are going to be back at each other again this Sunday. The two teams played each other three times last season (once in the playoffs), and saying there is bad blood is an understatement. The teams do not back down from taking shots at each other, on and off the field. […]

Jimmy Butler is not one to shy away from sounding overconfident in his own athletic abilities, and recently he proved just that. Butler went out at the Olympics and declared that he believes he would be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL if he wanted to go that way. Here is what […]
