“Oh, you almost had it!” That’s what TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers probably said to the Arizona Cardinals.

One team that many thought would be able […]

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin wants the team’s fans to practice patience, as the clamor to see more of the 15-year veteran linebacker James Harrison on the field grows.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t exactly look like the 8.5-point spread favorites in Sunday’s too-close-for-comfort 21-18 road win over the Cleveland Browns, that shouldn’t diminish in any form the fantastic NFL debut of Pittsburgh’s rookie linebacker, T.J. Watt, the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Against the Browns, Watt, younger brother of Houston […]

During the franchise’s dynasty of the 1970s, the household names in Pittsburgh revolved around the Steelers’ defense.
