Simply put, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals was horrible. Top to bottom.

Cardinals’ James Conner has big game during ‘special’ win over Steelers in return to Pittsburgh
Whatever positive capital James Conner had built up with the Pittsburgh fanbase by wearing a Pitt t-shirt to his postgame news conference Sunday, he perhaps squandered away by making an admission about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ traditional late-game hype song. “I didn’t like ‘Renegade,’” Conner said. “That got the defense turned...

Penguins defensemen Erik Karlsson, Kris Letang reunited on top power-play unit
At this rate, no alteration with the Penguins’ enervated top power-play unit can be dismissed. Put a big guy in front of the crease? Sure. A left-hand shot on the left flank? Absolutely. Let adroit goaltender Tristan Jarry airmail a few pucks from his own crease? Why not? On Sunday,...
