‘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 […]
Danny Crossman Says Patriots’ Now-Barred Scoreboard Shenanigans Something ‘Everybody Was Aware Of’
The Steelers are not the only ones who have stories about shenanigans when playing the Patriots, a current topic. Just before Sunday’s game, the NFL, made aware of a tactic the Patriots had used against opposing kickers, forced them to stop it. When kickers attempted field goals on the stadium side with a video screen, […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – S Robert Spears-Jennings
Player: S Robert Spears-Jennings Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Two games into his NFL career, seventh-round rookie Robert Spears-Jennings is carving out a clear niche for himself on special teams. He already has seven tackles, a figure that is both remarkable and unsustainable. As a four-phase guy covering and blocking for both punts and kicks, he […]
Mike McCarthy Shares His Message To Players After First Loss As Steelers Head Coach
After his first loss as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike McCarthy shared his message with his team. Speaking to the media on Monday, he talked about what he wanted his players to know. Beyond talking about the growing pains involved in putting together a new team, it was about looking inward and […]
Steelers Stand In Bengals’ Way Of Best Start In Joe Burrow Era
If the Steelers beat Joe Burrow and the Bengals, they’ll lead the AFC North. If not, Cincinnati could be a big problem this season. Never before in the Joe Burrow era have the Bengals started a season 3-0. In fact, they have only started 2-0 once before—just last year. Of course, the Bengals’ 2025 season […]
Did Steelers Make Mistake Flipping Troy Fautanu And Mason McCormick?
Did the Steelers make a mistake moving Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick? Of all the things taken for granted this offseason, perhaps Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick were among the very top. Zach Frazier would be even higher, but that’s as much because he didn’t change positions as it is his play. Outside of maybe […]

A weekly series that captures the forgotten, hidden plays that led the Pittsburgh Steelers to win or lose.

Colts Likely Without Top Receiver For Steelers Game
The Indianapolis Colts will likely have a tougher time moving the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense for next month’s matchup. Top receiver Alec Pierce is set to miss the game after aggravating a heel injury during Sunday night’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Pierce is hopeful to avoid surgery but isn’t expected to […]
Patrick Graham Says Steelers’ Run Defense ‘Did Not Do A Good Job’ Against Patriots
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense is drawing a lot of flak after the team’s Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. That’s fair, because that unit put up only three points. However, the Steelers’ defense wasn’t perfect either. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham pointed to one area that he wasn’t satisfied with against the Patriots. “We […]
‘Gonna Be Locked Up’: Chad Johnson Predicts Bengals Add To Steelers’ Misery In Week 3
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a pretty start to their season. They are still 1-1, but their win wasn’t especially convincing, and their loss wasn’t particularly close. Next week, the Steelers begin division play, hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. Former Bengals receiver Chad Johnson believes Cincinnati will win easily. “You see that defense we got over […]
‘I Feel Bad For The Steelers Fans’: Former NFL O-Lineman Tears Into Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers were a mess in Week 2. They lost 20-3 to the New England Patriots, and their offense looked anemic. Even when it looked like it was doing things right, it got in its own way. Every time the Steelers’ offense took one step forward, it followed that up with three steps back. […]
‘Enjoy Retirement’: Patriots DT Chirps Aaron Rodgers After Ugly Performance
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was painful in many different ways. It was probably most painful, literally, for Aaron Rodgers compared to anybody else on the roster. Without any support from the offensive line or his receiving corps getting open on a consistent basis, Rodgers took a lot of […]
Former NFL Quarterback Suggests Important Change To Fix Steelers’ Offense
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense was an unmitigated disaster on Sunday against the New England Patriots. The offense fumbled twice (and lost one), and QB Aaron Rodgers threw an interception (that was not really his fault). The Patriots’ defense sacked Rodgers four times. Analyst Sam Monson said that Rodgers looked like all the previous great quarterbacks […]
‘He’s Not Being A Football Player’: Trai Essex Worried About Troy Fautanu Following Ugly Week 2 Performance
The New England Patriots dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line in Week 2. Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times and was under duress all day. Troy Fautanu was one of the Steelers’ most disappointing players. Pittsburgh drafted him in the first round in 2024, and he looked good last year. However, he’s had an ugly […]

‘They Are An Eyesore’: Analyst Already Wants Steelers’ Season To Be Over
The Pittsburgh Steelers were a mess in Week 2. They lost 20-3 to the New England Patriots and couldn’t do anything right on offense. While Mike Tomlin stepped down this offseason and Mike McCarthy was hired to be the Steelers’ new head coach, Pittsburgh looks much like the same team. “Pittsburgh does not want to […]
Steelers’ Confidence In Metcalf Remains High: ‘We Believe In DK’
Internally, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t making a point of piling onto WR DK Metcalf’s woes.

DK’s been a really good player in this league,” said OC Brian […]
Steelers OC ‘Pleased’ With Germie Bernard’s Performance: ‘He Showed Some Strides’
With Michael Pittman Jr. out Sunday due to a foot injury, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard had a major opportunity early in his NFL career.

‘We Don’t Have A Talent Issue’: McCarthy Shares Message To Team After Slow Start
NFL success depends on a multitude of factors, including continuity, scheme, health, and, perhaps most importantly, talent. A team can only go so far without great players capable of extraordinary individual exploits. Fortunately for the Steelers, Mike McCarthy doesn’t believe that’s what’s holding them back after a disappointing start to the season. “We don’t have […]
‘Got A Good Player Right There’: Steelers ST Coordinator Impressed With Two Rookies
The Pittsburgh Steelers made 10 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, giving them plenty of chances to find difference makers. Even in the seventh round, the Steelers picked up Robert Spears-Jennings and Eli Heidenreich. Neither is seeing a large role yet. But special teams coordinator Danny Crossman thinks Spears-Jennings is particularly impressive. “He’s finding ways […]
Mike McCarthy Not Sure If Michael Pittman Jr. Will Be Ready To Return In Week 3
The Pittsburgh Steelers were without WR2 Michael Pittman Jr. in their 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
