Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. To your questions! Framebar: Hi Alex! I’ve been underwhelmed with YA at NG so far including preseason. He seems to lack explosiveness and arm extension. Do you think the coaching staff will go to Rubio at any point this season? Alex: I think we should keep watching. I liked what he did against the Falcons. He rushes smart which makes up for a lack of true pass ru...
While it wasn’t pretty, the Pittsburgh Steelers started this season 1-0 after beating the Atlanta Falcons. The Steelers’ offense wasn’t as impressive as many people were hoping it would be, but the defense carried Pittsburgh to a 20-13 win. Despite the Steelers winning that game, former NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth got a case of deja vu while watching them. And not in a good way. “I’m gonna sell the Steelers,” Whitworth said Thursday on his Fitz and Whit podcast. “The reality is, to ...
September 17 – Ep. 115: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I discuss the Steelers’ Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. We talk about the defensive brilliance and the offensive sloppiness and one major silver lining for the offense moving forward. Next, we talk about the latest developments with Joey […]

The Texas football program recently picked up a huge win at home over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The win avenged the Longhorns’ loss to Ohio State last year and seemingly got the team’s hardest game of the year out of the way in Week 2. Now, Atlanta Falcons running back and former Texas star Bijan […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers shut down the Atlanta Falcons’ offense in Week 1 for the most part. They held star RB Bijan Robinson largely in check, limiting him to 83 yards rushing on 23 carries. He did do damage in the passing game, catching eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown, though. However, the defense responded with a touchdown of its when OLB T.J. Watt snagged his first career pick-six in the fourth quarter. That capped a stellar performance that earned Watt the AFC Defensive Player of...

Both the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers are seeking a win to bounce back from tough opening games. Naturally, only one of them can get the W, so who will it be? With NFC South games, that question is always a fraught one, but we’ll take a look at how Carolina has evolved and the […]
After making his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, playing one snap due to injury, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor at least has the first-snap nerves out of the way. Now, with left tackle Troy Fautanu expected to be limited in practice Thursday with an ankle injury after not practicing […]
The Falcons and Steelers make sense as trade partners given Atlanta's quarterback woes.
Seven Pittsburgh Steelers rookies made their regular-season debut while the remaining four were inactive. Of those seven players, only Riley Nowakowski, Germie Bernard, and Eli Heidenreich played three or more snaps on offense or defense. There was a very clear goal of limiting their exposure early while they all get their feet wet on special […]
Aaron Rodgers says the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn’t be facing so many questions offensively had a couple more plays gone their way. The numbers show that’s true. A new study shared by the Twitter/X account @sfdata9ers reveals the Steelers’ two drops in last Sunday’s opener against the Atlanta Falcons cost them more points than any other […]
Before we flip the page to the Steelers’ next opponents — our preview of the New England Patriots matchup is out Friday — we here at Read & React wanted to take one last look at the film from Week 1, and take stock of any interesting trends or tidbits we felt worth sharing. We […]
Hello CSR! I’m here to break down the biggest storylines to watch following an explosive but disappointing week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Panthers’ offense had its first week 1 coming out party in years, unfortunately the Bears’ party was much larger. Luckily, everyone else in the NFC South lost, including the Falcons, […]

This PHLY clip is making the rounds: “…we played good enough to win the game. We make it to the next week. I can say that the Falcons in 2017, that game we didn’t play as good as we needed to, but we found a way to win. They don’t care then! People don’t care […]

Despite holding the Falcons to 13 points, Cam Heyward still takes issue with aspects of the Steelers’ defense on last Sunday. While they did enough to win, he sees areas in which they need to tighten up. Some of that may be due to the typical issues of early-season football. But the issues won’t correct themselves, so he knows they have work to do. “The whole defense, I thought we had moments of really good clarity, and it was working for us”, the Steelers veteran defensive tackle said on his ...

As a 42-year-old quarterback, life isn’t easy for Aaron Rodgers on Sundays. He’s not as mobile as he used to be and can’t afford to take hits every week, which can limit the offense a bit, as we saw last year. But last Sunday’s game against Atlanta looked a bit different. Rodgers wasn’t holding the […]
Carolina and Atlanta both sit at 0-1 heading into their Week 2 NFC South showdown at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and this week’s Two Growls One Roar breakdown has everything you need before kickoff. We start in the Panthers locker room, where Dave Canales gave an encouraging update on Jalen Coker’s ankle, explained the thinking behind waiving Jimmy Horn Jr. for a roster spot (spoiler: it’s not the end of that story), and broke down what makes Jeff Ulbrich’s Falcons defense so tough to prepare for —...
