DK's Double Shot of Steelers: All the linebackers, baby!
Without an excellent defensive performance and a superhuman showing from EDGE T.J. Watt, who knows how the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season opener against the Atlanta Falcons would have gone. Fortunately, Pittsburgh picked up a 20-13 win to begin the Mike McCarthy era on the right foot. But the offense left much to be desired. The receiving corps struggled to do its primary job: catch the ball. DK Metcalf had one drop and caught two of five contested passes, failing to secure a ball in the end zone...
If you blinked during one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-half field goal attempts, you may have thought they had a trick play dialed up. Instead, punter Cameron Johnston made a mad dash for the sideline with the ball in his hands, only to take an unnecessary hit on a play that was clearly not supposed to happen. So, what went wrong? Steelers special teams coordinator Danny Crossman provided an explanation during his Monday media availability. “If you’re in it long enough, you see everything...

Many members of the Steelers’ coaching staff made their debut in the matchup, including Danny Crossman. He’s the new special teams coordinator, and his unit had an up-and-down day on Sunday. The return game had some nice moments, and Chris Boswell made two field goals. However, there was also a botched play and some poor tackling in kick coverage. The final factor particular...
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off the 2026 NFL season with a victory over the Atlanta Falcons at home, 20-13. The close score is a reminder that any team can be beaten and shouldn’t overlook any potential opponent.

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt had a Week 1 to remember.

The Atlanta Falcons did not need another injury setback after everything that went wrong in Week 1. Jalon Walker is already out for the season, James Pearce Jr. is serving an eight-game suspension, and the Falcons also lost starting right guard Chris Lindstrom to a concussion in Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled to establish the run at Acrisure Stadium against the Atlanta Falcons, making the offense largely one-dimensional Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, the Steelers found that run game in the fourth quarter, particularly in the four-minute drill, helping them put the game away for the first win of the Mike McCarthy era. Though the Steelers rushed for just 58 yards on 21 carries, managing just 2.8 yards per carry, Pittsburgh found some running room at the end of the ga...
Mike McCarthy just coached his first game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he earned a win. It’s a meaningful milestone, especially for a man with many ties to Pittsburgh. Like any NFL head coach, McCarthy is already looking for things to correct. There’s a long list on offense. McCarthy thinks that list includes himself. “I thought the play calling on offense was herky-jerky. I didn’t think I did a great job getting the players into a rhythm. At certain parts of the game, I thought we had so...
Defense played a huge part in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. T.J. Watt in particular was key to Pittsburgh’s 20-13 win. His pick-six gave the Steelers a 10-point lead and ended up being the difference maker. That wasn’t the only big play that Watt made either. He looked like the best version of himself in Week 1, and Mike McCarthy came away impressed with the edge rusher. “Super impactful,” McCarthy said Monday via the team’s YouTube channel. “He got two game bal...
