‘Reaching That Mountaintop’: Cam Heyward Talks Legacy, Approach To New Steelers Era
Pittsburgh Steelers fans should not take what they have in Cam Heyward for granted. Playing at a high level at age 37 is no small feat, especially for a defensive lineman. And the leadership and experience Heyward provides to the team is equally as important. Before the season began, Heyward appeared on the More Life […]

Steelers Might Have New Trade Partner For QB Mason Rudolph
Fans were surprised and critical that the Pittsburgh Steelers kept four quarterbacks to start this season. It felt like they’d have to let one of their backups go, but they decided to keep Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar.

‘Gonna See Some More Pointing The Fingers’: Beat Writer Talks Struggles Between Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf
The Pittsburgh Steelers look bad on the offensive side of the ball, and the biggest reason is that their most important players aren’t living up to expectations. That’s true with Aaron Rodgers, who isn’t getting much help but still looks lost on the field. And it’s especially true with DK Metcalf. Rodgers has targeted Metcalf […]
‘Ain’t Getting Through’: Chad Johnson Trash Talks T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith Ahead Of Steelers-Bengals Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered an ugly Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. However, they can’t dwell on it for too long. They’ve got their first AFC North matchup of the year this week. The Steelers will face the Cincinnati Bengals, who currently lead the division. Former Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson decided to […]
DK Metcalf Has Been One Of The ‘Least Valuable Players In The NFL’, Analyst Says
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded a second-round pick for DK Metcalf and subsequently signed him to a large contract extension at the start of the 2025 offseason. After trading George Pickens a couple of months later, they hoped Metcalf could be the stable WR1 the Steelers badly needed. Through a season and some change, that’s hasn’t […]
Film Room: Derrick Harmon Puts Together Complete Performance Against Patriots
When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected defensive lineman Derrick Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the expectation was they were landing their next great piece in the trenches, one that could take the torch and carry things for the Black and Gold long after Cameron Heyward retires. Harmon hasn’t quite shown that […]
‘Justice For Arthur Smith’: Analyst Believes Steelers’ Offense Is ‘Worse Than Last Year’
When the Pittsburgh Steelers hired Mike McCarthy to be their head coach, many fans hoped that he would finally fix the team’s offense. While McCarthy isn’t the most innovative coach, his offense has had a lot of success in the NFL, including just a few years ago with the Dallas Cowboys. However, through the first […]
‘Slap Myself’: James Harrison Regrets Optimistic Record Prediction For Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ season is already getting rocky after getting crushed in Week 2 by the New England Patriots. While they’re 1-1, their offense has been a disaster. It’s still early, but the Steelers look like they have more problems than some people may have anticipated. That includes James Harrison, who was very optimistic about […]
Rookie Report Card: Steelers Vs. Patriots (Week 2)
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a particularly rough week against the New England Patriots, but the rookie class still had a few positives to note. Germie Bernard played 55 offensive snaps after logging just three a week ago, and Robert Spears-Jennings is racing toward a special teams tackle record. Still just seven of the 11 total […]
Steelers’ Offensive Line Will Need To Be On High Alert With Week Three Referee
The Pittsburgh Steelers will have Clay Martin as their referee for their Week 3 matchup at Acrisure Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the offensive line will need to be precise with Martin as the referee. Martin’s crew has called 10 offensive holding penalties, seven more than they’ve called any other penalty this season. Football […]
Steelers Release Week 3 Depth Chart For Bengals Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers released their Week 3 depth chart ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Not a single change has been made since the first regular-season depth chart was released a couple weeks ago. Notably, the offensive line is still listed the same as it has been. Some were expecting changes at right guard […]
Where Do Steelers Stand In Week 3 Power Rankings?
Just when it seemed like the Pittsburgh Steelers would be able to shake off a rough Week 1 performance by going on the road and finding a way to win in Foxboro, the bottom seemingly fell out on them. The Steelers were thoroughly throttled by the New England Patriots in a 20-3 loss as the […]
Dameshek Explains How The Joey Porter Jr. Standoff Exposes Steelers’ Identity Crisis
If the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots did nothing else, it served as a harsh reality check. Two games into the season, it is glaringly obvious just how far away this team is from actual contention. While it’s only one game, an early-season test against the defending AFC champion was […]
Pittsburgh’s Third-Down Offense Is Bad. It Shouldn’t Be.
One reason for the “herky-jerky” nature of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, the phrase Mike McCarthy has used several times already, is poor third-down offense. Pittsburgh’s inability to sustain drives is preventing the offense from getting into any flow or rhythm. More obviously, it’s not moving the offense downfield and into position to score. Most often, […]
One Stat Shows The Big Difference Between The Steelers’ Offense And Defense
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been as good as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has been bad. It may be obvious to even the most casual viewer but the defense has met, if not exceeded, expectations through the first two weeks of the season. The offense looks even worse than it has before. To quantify it, […]
‘He’s Pressing’: Steve Smith Sr. Weighs In On DK Metcalf’s Struggles
There was a lot of talk in the buildup to the start of the regular season regarding how dominant Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf looked during training camp under a new coaching staff. Also, with a second year working with Aaron Rodgers and in an offensive scheme better suited to his strengths as a […]

Offense: Excellent (90-Plus Grades): NONE. Great (80-Plus Grades): NONE. Good (70-Plus Grades): The two highest-graded offensive players were surprisingly offensive linemen.

Michael Pittman Jr. Assesses Germie Bernard, What Teammates ‘Were Excited To See’
Germie Bernard didn’t technically start Sunday’s game, but he was a starter, for all intents and purposes, and left his mark. While his unfortunate drop that turned into an interception will go down as the most notable play from his first significant NFL playing time, he did provide some highlights. And that wasn’t limited to […]
‘Potentially Gonna Unravel’: Analysts Warn ‘Worst Is Yet To Come’ If Steelers’ Offense Doesn’t Improve
No matter how bleak things got for the Pittsburgh Steelers under Mike Tomlin, he had an uncanny ability to keep the locker room together. Even when the outside noise grew to deafening levels, drama inside the locker room was often kept to a minimum. Will Mike McCarthy and his new coaching staff be able to […]
Film Room: Germie Bernard Achieves Something Only One Other WR Has Done With Aaron Rodgers
There aren’t many positives the Pittsburgh Steelers can take away from their offensive showing versus the New England Patriots. Just three points, miserable on third down, and hardly any big plays. Rookie WR Germie Bernard offered at least something resembling progress. He finished the day with four catches, the first four receptions of his NFL […]
‘Very Far-Fetched’: ESPN Insider Doesn’t See Steelers Benching Aaron Rodgers This Year
Things are not good at the moment for the Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly on offense. The offensive line can’t pass protect and can’t establish a run game, and wide receivers are struggling to generate separation within routes and are having issues with drops. And 42-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks his age, and is already getting passive […]
Beat Writer Offers Game To ‘Circle’ As Potential Max Iheanachor Starting Debut
There aren’t many changes the Steelers can really contemplate making on offense, but Max Iheanachor is certainly one of them. The rookie first-round tackle saw his progress halted by a training camp injury. After playing in the Steelers’ final preseason game, however, the coaches have liked his growth over the past month. Arguably, the offensive […]
