The Steelers have shifted their secondary in numerous ways since Juan Thornhill dubbed the defense as potentially one of the best of all time. Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay have missed time with injuries. Safety DeShon Elliott is likely out for the year. Thornhill was cut on Monday, and the Steelers acquired Kyle Dugger […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) square off against a familiar opponent when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at Acrisure Stadium in an AFC North clash. With 280.7 yards of total offense per game (fourth-worst) and 376.0 yards allowed per game on defense (fifth-worst), the Steelers have been playing poorly on both sides of the ball this season. The Bengals rank 13th in points per game (24.0), but they’ve been less effective on the defensive side of the ball, r...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in a month-long funk. They’ve lost three of their last four games, the latest of which was a 25-10 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. One thing that has stood out throughout the span of this slump is how dreadful Pittsburgh’s offense is on third down. In their last […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have had many a pleasant surprise over their first 17 games. They’ve gotten a lot of life out of mid-level free agent signings like Justin Brazeau, Anthony Mantha and Parker Wotherspoon. Arturs Silovs has looked the part of an NHL goalie. Tristan Jarry and even Ryan Graves have started upon redemption journeys, […]
There is no doubt that when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the benchmark for fans is always, “be better than the 49ers.” When it comes to rivalries in the NFL, Rams-49ers is certainly right near the top with Cowboys-Eagles, Browns-Steelers, and Packers-Bears. These are two teams that have played 154 times and reached […]
The results of the 2025 Cy Young Award winners were announced on Wednesday night, and neither winner was much of a surprise: Tarik Skubal of the Tigers took home the American League honors, while the Pirates’ Paul Skenes (perhaps on his way out of town?) captured the National League’s award. While Skenes was a unanimous […]
Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers has won the American League Cy Young Award for the second year in a row, while Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates has won the National League Cy Young Award. Skubal received 26 first place votes and four second place votes. Garrett Crochet of the Boston Red Sox finished […]
There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The Steelers are coming off another soul-crushing loss. Making matters worse, Sunday’s bout against the Chargers was another lopsided defeat on primetime. That means there were millions of eyes on the Steelers’ latest episode of dysfunction, and thus even more of the same old discussions and jokes around the […]
It was a day of adventure for the Pittsburgh Penguins who had the day off from hockey activities and were able to explore their temporary host city of Stockholm, Sweden and take in some local culture. While this is primarily a business trip for the Penguins, it’s good for the players to take some down […]
Yoshinobu Yamamoto was a top-three candidate for the 2025 NL Cy Young award, but it was Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes that took home the award unanimously. Yamamoto finished in third place, receiving zero first or second place votes as Philadelphia Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sánchez finished as the unanimous runner-up. The record didn’t look too […]
For the second year in a row, the top of each league’s Cy Young ballot was more-or-less a foregone conclusion. Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers and Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates have taken home the AL and NL Cy Young Awards, respectively. For Skenes, this is a coronation of sorts. Last season, there […]
The greatest pitcher in Major League Baseball resides on the North Shore in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pirates ace Paul Skenes is officially the winner of the 2025 National League Cy Young Award. As if there was ever a doubt. Skenes received 30 out of 30 first-place votes to defeat fellow finalists Christopher Sanchez (Philadelphia Phillies) and […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering must-win territory as they enter the back half of their schedule, and they’ll take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 in hopes of getting to 6-4. The Steelers held their first practice of the week, and a surprise name did not practice due to injury. Left tackle Broderick Jones […]
I asked two weeks ago “What are your expectations for the next 3 games”. 90% were expecting either two wins, or that we would sweep the three games. Due to the klunker in Pittsburgh, we will now have to go to KC and win, if we are going to be correct about our prognostications. We […]
Heading into the final day before the trade deadline this season, the 2025 Yankees had a lot of question marks, but none loomed larger than the bullpen, both for 2025 and beyond. And so, Brian Cashman had himself a busy day at the deadline, pulling in David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from […]
Pat Freiermuth and the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals and their 30th-ranked pass defense (260.1 yards conceded per game) in Week 11, on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Should Freiermuth be a player that you plug into your fantasy football lineup this week for his game versus the Bengals? Prior to making that decision, here’s a look at the numbers and trends you need to know. Sign up for Fubo to watch the NFL, live sports and entertainment without cable! Pat Freiermuth Week 11 ...
Some little bits and pieces around the Penguins as they take in Sweden this week. Erik Karlsson sets the stage on what to expect during the games. Those opponents were out having a good time for themselves. It’s an interesting nugget that Europe will mark the third different continent where Penguins vs. Predators games have […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a big move on Tuesday, signing free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to their practice squad. When Samuel will make his Steelers’ debut is unknown, but considering how quickly Kyle Dugger has stepped in and been productive, Samuel could take the field as early as Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… One of the only negative storylines surrounding the otherwise impressive Pittsburgh Penguins this season has been the team’s (and more specifically, goalie Arturs Silovs’) play in the shootout. The Penguins are 0-3 in the shooting contest this year, but even with Silovs’ poor play for the […]
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a weekly Steelers links roundup at BTSC. But first, let’s take a look around the AFC North: What’s the latest on the Steelers’ upcoming opponent? (In this case, more Bengals links): Now, onto some Steelers news and discussion: Aaron Rodgers struggles in Steelers’ loss: ‘I got to play better than this’ (From […]
The Steelers cut safety Darrick Forest from the team’s practice squad, Steelers Now’s Alan Saunders reported Tuesday. The move gives the Steelers the space make room for the reported signing of free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. Forest signed with the Steelers practice squad on Oct. 28 following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay […]
The shorthanded Chargers managed to not only beat the Steelers, but they overwhelmed Pittsburgh to the tune of a 25-10 score and two interceptions off future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers. Jesse Minter’s defense was stellar as they made the veteran quarterback uncomfortable all night long and were at their best when their best was needed, specifically […]
Former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who took a visit with the Green Bay Packers recently, has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad on Tuesday. Often, a practice squad signing for a veteran player just allows the player to practice with the team for an extra week before he’s eventually called up […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are making a big splash signing deep into the season and adding to their defensive secondary in a big way. Per Jeremy Fowler, the Steelers are signing cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. “Free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. is signing with the Steelers practice squad, per source,” Fowler reports. “A top-25 free agent in […]
