Ever since Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, several former players have shared their opinions – both good and bad – on the Super Bowl-winning head coach.

But this offseason, they may […]

Joey Porter Jr. has quickly become one of the most important players on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster. Cleaning up his penalty issues and shutting down top receivers to end the 2025 season, he’s put himself in prime position for a payday this offseason. However, there are still some aspects of his game that are lacking. […]

The legendary Chuck Noll won the Steelers their first four Super Bowls. Then Bill Cowher came along and won another. Mike Tomlin took over after him and quickly added a ring of his own.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense certainly didn’t live up to expectations in 2025. While it wasn’t the sole reason, it likely played a hand in Mike Tomlin’s decision to part ways with the franchise after the season ended, which also led to the departure of Teryl Austin.

Dave asked if eight would be achievable this season, and Alex questioning if that had ever been done at Heyward’s age (37) and position. This inspired me to find the answer […]
