Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett has had plenty of highs and lows in his rookie season, and overall, what is important to him is that he is “continuing to grow” each and every week. “I’m growing every week, that’s the positive,” Pickett said during a press conference ahead of Week 18. “There are things that […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers could make the playoffs this weekend with a win over the Cleveland Browns and certain outcomes elsewhere.

Kenny Pickett is turning out to be one hell of a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the last two games, the rookie QB from Pitt has led two clutch drives to keep his team in the playoff hunt. His ability to keep his team in games has made him even more of a fan-favorite […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still in this thing. After a season-preserving win taken in the final minute against the Baltimore Ravens, running back Najee Harris was all smiles and good vibes during the postgame interview. In fact, he was a little too ecstatic. So much so that he took the mic from the reporter and […]

The 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a game when they were trailing by 10 points or more … until Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens that is. Behind Kenny Pickett’s clutch touchdown with under a minute to go, the Steelers erased a 13-3 deficit and turned things around for the 16-13 win. It was the […]

After Kenny Pickett himself and his family (maybe?), Stephen A. Smith is probably the most hyped over the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s clutch touchdown to beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17.

Ahead of this year’s second Steelers-Ravens game, let’s make some bold Steelers predictions as to what might happen. At 7-8 on the season, the Steelers are […]

Kenny Pickett still has a lot to learn in the NFL, but he’s been showing promise under center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, albeit inconsistently. Take for example last Saturday’s 13-10 come-from-behind home win over the Las Vegas Raiders in which Pickett played terribly for 90 percent of the game but turned it up at just […]

Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers made just one touchdown in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders, and they weren’t even able to find the end zone through 59 minutes of play. However, that one TD was all they needed to win. With just one minute left on the clock and the Raiders ahead […]

Mitch Trubisky is back under center for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As the Steelers get ready to take on the Panthers in Week 15, head coach Mike Tomlin has a decision to make at quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Mason Rudolph recently admitted that he feels like he’s been “inactive” for the team, per Gary Dulac. Mitch Trubisky opened the season as the Steelers’ starting QB. However, Kenny Pickett ultimately replaced Trubisky. But with Pickett battling a concussion, Rudolph and Trubisky took 1st-team reps in practice, per Brooke Pryor. Mason Rudolph […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers already have a slim chance of making the 2022 playoffs, and it doesn’t bode well in their chances that they are losing a key player at this point of the season.

It’s been a tough follow-up for Diontae Johnson after netting his first Pro Bowl appearance last season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 season was all about transitioning away from Ben Roethlisberger and trying to find the quarterback of the future. Considering how they are 2-6 so far, it’s safe to say that that quest hasn’t gone too well so far. The Steelers are among the worst teams in the league, largely due to […]
