Report: Ravens Rookie WR Ja’Kobi Lane Believed To Have Fractured Wrist
While new Ravens HC Jesse Minter is enjoying his first victory, injuries to WRs Zay Flowers and Ja’Kobi Lane risk limiting his offense. Granted, QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry seemed to have no problem shouldering the load Sunday. But nobody wants to be down some of their top receivers. Flowers exited the game […]
Is This The T.J. Watt The Steelers Will See This Year?
Is this the T.J. Watt the Steelers will see this year? T.J. Watt started his career with a two-sack game that included an interception. It took him nearly a decade to do it again. Not that that’s a knock on him, but rather a question of whether he is still that player. It’s not the […]
‘The Browns Is The Browns:’ Mike Tomlin Roasts Cleveland Using JuJu Smith-Schuster’s Viral Phrase
Last year, Mike Tomlin didn’t hide his feelings about the Cleveland Browns trading QB Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Appearing on NBC’s Football Night In America ahead of the New York Giants/Dallas Cowboys nightcap, […]
Fowler Lists Five Feasible Trade Partners For Joey Porter Jr.
Though the Pittsburgh Steelers have downplayed the Joey Porter Jr. situation, the facts are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

AFC North Week 1 Standings: Everyone But Cleveland Is A Winner

After First Game Together, Michael Pittman Jr. Feels ‘Tuned In’ With Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have many new faces this year, so the number of injuries during camp was a little worrisome.

Speaking last week, Aaron Rodgers said he hoped to […]
‘Unacceptable’: Cam Heyward Says Steelers’ Run Defense Against Falcons Was ‘Not Good Enough’
The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in a close Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Thankfully, they left with a 20-13 victory.

Teammates React To T.J. Watt’s Pick-Six
Just when it looked like the Atlanta Falcons were going to kick the door down after the Pittsburgh Steelers let them hang around into the fourth quarter, outside linebacker T.J.

‘Dreamed Of This Moment’: Jaquan Brisker Talks ‘Amazing’ INT In First Game With Steelers
There was hope that the Pittsburgh Steelers would improve offensively this year with Mike McCarthy as head coach. However, that didn’t happen in Week 1.

‘Everybody Was Talking’: Patrick Queen Happy With Steelers’ Defensive Communication
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has had its share of communication mistakes in recent seasons, with Patrick Queen as the team’s green dot linebacker.

In the […]
‘Jack Got A Lot Of Good Reps’: T.J. Watt Loves Steelers’ New Pass Rush Rotation
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a strong commitment to the outside linebacker position when they handed Nick Herbig a large contract extension this past offseason.

Cam Heyward Blasts Refs For ‘Terrible’ Holding Calls Against Steelers’ Defensive Line
It’s rare to see more than a couple holding calls against the defensive line in an entire season, let alone in the same game.

In Week 1 of the 2026 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers took on the visiting Atlanta Falcons. It wasn’t the prettiest game. It wasn’t clean. There were a lot of mistakes. But the Steelers made enough plays to notch first win of the Mike McCarthy era and we will take that. Here are my 10 takes […]
‘Crazy Human Being’: T.J. Watt ‘Not Surprised’ By Payton Wilson’s Big Performance
