Here we are again talking about the Steelers trade rumors for WR near the NFL Trade Deadline. Steelers only have DK Metcalf & Germie Bernard as their main targets as Michael Pittman & Roman Wilson remain on IR. Colts WR Josh Downs is one of the top trade candidates available as he's requested to be traded away from the Colts & recent news & rumors have indicated the Steelers in Trade Talks for Josh Downs. Steelers may also have interest in Jaguars WR Brian Thomas & Chargers WR Ladd McConkey according to some rumors. But the WR position isn't the only one the Steelers could...

Steelers are victorious in Paris and Steelers beat Saints 16-10 to advance to 5-2! Off the legs of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle, the duo combine for 223 yards and was the driving force for the offense's success.

Steelers win their first road game of the season and win as the Steelers make a comeback to beat Buccaneers in an OT Thriller! The Steelers team didn't show up for the first 3 quarters and even Mike McCarthy hurt his ankle, but once the 4th quarter happened, the momentum shifted in the Steelers favor. Daylen Everette got his first career INT, and it followed with 16 unanswered points that sent the game into overtime! The game should've been over before then, but the offense finally woke up when it mattered the most. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm...

Steelers are coming off a good win vs Colts & will look to win 2 straight for the first time this year, as well as getting their first road win as they go to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers. Buccaneers started off going 0-4 but are coming off their first win of the season vs Cowboys on TNF. Baker Mayfield will not play in this game, so UDFA Jalon Daniels will get the start once again. Steelers offense has been quite productive in the past 3 games, mostly off the workload of Jaylen Warren who should continue to see the football...

Steelers beat Colts 34-22 in a competitive battle that saw the Steelers offense put up a season high in points and for Jaylen Warren, he gained 188 yards and 2 TDs on 21 touches. Pat Friermuth and Germie Bernard both had great games and Aaron Rodgers was dialing in. The Steelers offense showed up, while the Steelers defense still suspect. The run defense did great, but it doesn't matter when the secondary is getting cooked. Overall, a great team win and the Steelers remain undefeated at home Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steelers will be looking to bounce back from their loss vs Browns, returning home to host the Indianapolis Colts who they'll be facing for a 5th straight year with the Steelers winning last year that started the Colts collapse & continuous losing streak, but Colts have momentum after winning 2 straight games. Both teams appear oddly similar in many ways, specifically on offense with their mission to run the football. Colts have been carried on the back of Johnathan Taylor for years & Steelers have been productive running the ball with Jaylen Warren in back-to-back games. Gameplan seems simple, FEED JAYLEN WARREN, LIMIT...

Steelers Defense after a strong first 2 weeks has performed very poor over the last 2 games vs Bengals & Browns. Steelers suffered injuries coming out of the Browns loss, with Derrick Harmon Placed on IR, out at least the next 4 games leaving the Steelers to be without one of their better run defenders. Jamel Dean is Hurt as well as he's expected to miss a couple of weeks. All this coming after Steelers traded away Joey Porter Jr to the Cowboys, leaving a big hole in the secondary. But HEY WE HAVE PRACTICE SQUAD CORNERS to help "fill" the position... Mix all...

Steelers lose to Browns 27-24 on TNF in a thriller at the end, but it saw the Steelers look soft vs Browns. Deshaun Watson had himself a game and the defense left receivers open all game. Despite coming away with 2 turnovers and allowing only 6 points, they couldn't make one final stop. Aaron Rodgers had an off game and made bad decisions, inaccurate throws, took unnecessary sacks and missed receivers. Despite the fight in the end, it was too much to come back from and Rodgers and the defense let the team down. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https...

Through months of negotiations and weeks of a "back" injury, the Joey Porter Jr saga is over and the Steelers trade Joey Porter Jr to Cowboys for a 2028 2nd round pick and conditional 2027 6th round pick. Joey Porter Jr has been traded, and his Steelers career comes up very short. Didn't think it'd ever get to this and didn't want it to get to this point but in the end, Joey porter Jr gets traded.

The last Steelers QB to beat the Browns in Cleveland was Ben Roethlisberger back in 2021. Steelers haven't won in Cleveland since 2021. It's time to change that! Both teams are 2-1 and are coming off confident victories. Now the two AFC North teams clash in primetime on TNF! Steelers haven't won on Thursday Night Football in nearly 3 years and haven't won on the road on TNF in 10 years. If last week's offensive performance in the 1st quarter proved anything, streaks are meant to be broken! This is our Steelers vs Browns Week 4 Preview for the Steelers vs Browns Week 4 TNF Game...

Steelers defeated the Bengals 30-27 in a nail biter that saw the offense actually produce on the field. A big reason for that is because of the offensive line changes on the right side with Brock Hoffman and Max Iheanachor. Hoffman is a trusted vet that helps everyone out while Max Iheanachor had a Standout Debut vs Bengals in his first career start. Giving up only 2 pressures and 2 hurries, he looked comfortable for a rookie. Is the Steelers offensive line fixed for now? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

History has been made! The Steelers have finally scored 7 or more points in the first quarter for the first time in 69 games!

Steelers are coming off one of the worst offensive performances in recent memory vs the Patriots and now head back home to host the Cincinnati Bengals for some AFC North action! Steelers Offense will be going against a more improved Bengals Defense led by Dexter Lawrence along the D-Line. Seeing how the Steelers O-Line performed last week, it has use worried & questioning, Is There Any Hope for the Steelers Offense? As usual, the Steelers Defense will have to keep them in this game, but facing a very healthy Bengles Offense may be tasking. Nonetheless, there is more confidence in the...

This is the fate of the Pittsburgh Steelers after only 2 weeks of the 2026 NFL Season. Another long season with bad OLine play, DK Dropcalf, and a New Coach in Mike McCarthy. New Coach, Same Old Steelers! We're experiencing similar losses as if Mike Tomlin was still the head coach, which suggest a bigger issue at hand. After giving DK Metcalf an awful contract to only drop passes and moving players all along the offensive line, the finger needs pointed at the front office! Omar Khan needs blamed for butchering the WR position and switching positions on the Steelers offensive line...

This was one of the worst losses and performances by the Steelers offense we've ever seen, and the Steelers offense hasn't been good in years! Now with a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers in his final year, an offensive line that switched 3 starters to different spots and refusing to play rookies, and DK Metcalf having bricks for hands, this Steelers offense sucks! Same Old Steelers all over again. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Steelers are coming off a very impressive victory at home vs Falcons and head onto the road for the first time this season to face the New England Patriots. Steelers defeated the Patriots in Foxborough last season, Steelers looking do repeat that with the Patriots coming off a terrible loss vs Seahawks. The defense had a strong start to the season, while the offense had opportunities to make plays, but the execution wasn't there. If Steelers want to walk away 2-0, Steelers Offense Needs to EXECUTE. We also talk about the Joey Porter Jr. Drama coming out of practice this...

Steelers are 1-0 after Week 1 vs Falcons and a big thanks to the defense for bringing home 4 sacks and 2 INTs against a Falcon offense that only consisted of Bijan Robinson. Yes, it was against a 3rd string Cooper Rush, but compared to the previous regime, this is a sense of fresh air. Still need to see more against better tests, but a great first impression from Patrick Graham. His influence is already making a difference for Steelers defense!

Steelers football is indeed back with a week 1 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in a game that wasn't pretty or perfect but a win regardless. Defense played lights out, led by TJ Watt! He looked like PRIME TJ Watt out there with 2 sacks and a pick 6! Defense won the Steelers the ball game with 2 INTs and 4 sacks. The offense, however, still has issues protecting Aaron Rodgers and can't run the ball. They can't catch either considering DK Metcalf has his worst game ever.

NFL Sundays are back, and Week 1 of the NFL Season is here! Steelers will open the season at home vs the Atlanta Falcons where these two teams are going in a different direction with new head coaches. Kevin Stefanski for the Falcons and Mike McCarthy for the Steelers. Tua Tagovailoa was set to start for the Falcons, but suffered an oblique injury in practice, putting his status in question. If he can't play, backup Cooper Rush will start. How will this effect the Falcons for Week 1? We discuss this and more regarding the Steelers vs Falcons Week 1 Game as The...

The Steelers 2026 Season is the start of a new era with new head coach Mike McCarthy leading the charge in his 1st season. With a new head coach, there was expected to be a lot of change throughout the coaching staff, something that was long overdue. And when it comes to changes, it brings a lot of mystery but intrigue at the same time, especially with the caliber of talent that the Steelers possess. Aaron Rodgers will be playing his final year reunited with Mike McCarthy, hoping to lead the Steelers to better success than previous years. The question however...

Joey Porter Jr is off the PUP list and is expected to play vs the Atlanta Falcons for week 1, unless JPJ has anything to say about it. There is reportedly no offer made by the Steelers toward a Joey Porter Jr contract extension and Joey Porter Jr is hinting he might not play if he doesn't receive a new deal that'd make him one of the highest paid cornerbacks in the league. If history repeats itself, Joey Porter Jr Contract Negotiations Won't Last Long for Steelers, as the Steelers have dealt with this towards TJ Watt and Cam Heyward in...

Broderick Jones was the Steelers 1st round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and Omar Khan's first selection and although he had a nice rookie season, he never lived up to his 1st round pedigree. Being out of position and swapping offensive tackle spots under bad coaching, it didn't help Broderick in any case, but he was still a bust and an awful tackle. Steelers TRADE Broderick Jones to Cowboys for 3rd round pick and the Broderick Jones experiment is officially over. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steelers Preseason is behind us & we are now headed for Regular Season action. But first, Steelers got some trimming to do in order to release their initial 53-Man Roster.

Steelers Preseason is over and now we look ahead at the NFL 53-man roster deadline on Sunday. The big question is will the Steelers keep 4 QBs? Did Will Howard do enough to make the 53-man roster? He led two TD drives today but nothing about his arm is impressive. Max Iheanachor saw his NFL debut and Lew Nichols should be the Steelers RB3! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steelers played the Jets in the most recent preseason game and although the game itself wasn't eventful, there is certainly a lot to discuss and plenty of concerns to be worried about. Will Howard threw 2 INTs, both targeted towards Roman Wilson, who appears to be drifting his routes. The Steelers offensive line struggles on the right side, mainly at RT with Dylan Cook and Broderick Jones both out of position. Let's hope Max Iheanachor gets healthy soon. Also, Drew Allar's promising growth under Mike McCarthy! Flashes of his arm talent proves McCarthy's influence is working but he needs better weapons...

Will Howard got a big opportunity vs the Jets to prove he could be the QB2 with Mason Rudolph not playing. It might be safe to say Mason Rudolph isn't going anywhere. Will Howard throws 2 INTs and had as worst of a game as he could. He impressed last week but couldn't provide consistency in a QB2 Opportunity. Drew Allar saw the entire 2nd half and didn't make any self-inflicted mistakes. Drew Allar had no weapons to work with and most of his passes were drops by future Starbucks baristas. Give Drew Allar the start next week vs the Bills...

Drew Allar had an impressive first game to begin his NFL career vs the Packers. He led 3 TD drives in all 3 of the drives he played, including two passing TDs. He was asked to do no more, no less, just get the basics down and make the easy look easy. He hit the routine stuff and played with poise. Drew Allar's NFL Debut went perfect and it's clear Mike McCarthy's influence is already working. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

the 2023 Steelers draft class is aging incredibly as the Steelers extend Keeanu Benton to a 4 year, $72M deal.

After an impressive first week and few days with the pads on, the Steelers 1st round pick, Max Iheanachor, suffered an injury to his shoulder during Steelers Training Camp. This continues the Steelers unfortunate luck of their 1st round selections suffering injuries during Steelers training camp and preseason. Although Max Iheanachor didn't run team drills, he was still in pads and ran individual drills, giving the Steelers a good sign that his injury isn't major. Steelers also might have a rising sleeper defensive back on their hands in Doneiko Slaughter, who saw 1st team reps as the slot corner after...

Coming into his 4th season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joey Porter Jr. has been a stellar player for the Steelers defense, showing growth & consistent lockdown coverage against some of the best WRs that the NFL has to offer. Carving out his own legacy & living up to the Porter name, Joey Porter Jr. deserves his recognition. Recently ESPN came out with an article, ranking the Top 10 CBs in the NFL.

A new vision to be brought to light with better weapons this season, it can open the door to certain X-Factors for the Offense.

It's no secret the Steelers offense has a collective unit has been underwhelming, predictable, and dreadful to watch for the last several seasons. Change was needed, mostly in the coaching staff and now, perhaps for the first time in a while, maybe we'll see the Steelers offense to (finally) improve under Mike McCarthy.

Payton Wilson is a fascinating player at the ILB Position that has unlimited potential. Since being drafted, he has shown glimpses of the player that many people believe he can be. But toward the tail-end of the season last year, he was used in limited capacity on the defense for one reason or another. Despite the limitations, he led the team in tackles for the Steelers. Now entering the upcoming season with a new & revamped coaching staff, could we see Payton Wilson Breakout in Year 3? There is no doubt the sky is the limit for Payton Wilson so perhaps under...
