The calendar flipped to November, and the Pittsburgh Steelers flipped the script on last week’s game in defeating the Baltimore Ravens, 28-24, on Sunday. Last Sunday in Tennessee, the Steelers managed to hold off a surging Titans comeback in the second half after going into the locker room up 24-7....

BALTIMORE – Lamar Jackson entered Sunday’s game with a 24-4 career record as an NFL quarterback and as the reigning league MVP in his first full season as a starter. It might not be fair to refer to the Pittsburgh Steelers as unimpressed by the Baltimore Ravens’ superstar. But they...

BALTIMORE — Three pass interference calls were made against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. That was three more than were called against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 28-24 victory. Ravens coach John Harbaugh thought at least one flag was warranted against the Steelers — on the...

BALTIMORE — For the first time in his NFL career since he became a regular part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ gameday lineup, Isaiah Buggs was a healthy scratch for last week’s game in Tennessee. Seven days later, Buggs took the low point of his brief pro career and flipped it...

BALTIMORE — T.J. Watt opened his press conference Sunday by offering sympathies for Baltimore Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley, who sustained a season-ending ankle injury late in the first quarter of the Steelers’ 28-24 victory at M&T Bank Stadium. Watt rolled up on Stanley’s ankle while pressuring quarterback Lamar Jackson, who...

BALTIMORE — The Pittsburgh Steelers lost one defensive lineman earlier this week. They lost two more during Sunday’s 28-24 win against the Baltimore Ravens. Starters Tyson Alualu and Cameron Heyward left because of injury. Coach Mike Tomlin gave little detail on the status of either during his postgame remarks on...

BALTIMORE — On a cold, rainy day at M&T Bank Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers were on their way to watching their unbeaten record and AFC North lead get washed away by the Baltimore Ravens. Then, Lamar Jackson intervened. The NFL’s reigning MVP threw one interception that was returned for a...

BALTIMORE – The Pittsburgh Steelers are without a key contributor in their effort to limit the Baltimore Ravens and reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson. Nickel cornerback Mike Hilton will not play in Sunday’s game because of a shoulder injury suffered two weeks prior. Hilton missed last week’s win at the...

The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers started a season with six consecutive wins, they had a defense littered with Pro Bowl players, a strong-armed quarterback seeking his third Super Bowl ring and a core of talented young wide receivers. The Steelers also were recovering from a turbulent offseason that followed...

If it’s Pittsburgh Steelers versus Baltimore Ravens, it probably will have a significant impact on the AFC playoff race. And it also probably will feature two very good defenses. Rarely have those things been more obvious than Sunday’s meeting between the division rivals: The winner will take over first place...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are running out of inside linebackers. Two weeks after every-down starter Devin Bush was lost for the season because of a torn ACL, Ulysees Gilbert will not be available to play in Sunday’s AFC North showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Gilbert did not practice Thursday or Friday...

Cold, breezy, rain. Even some mud. It was AFC North football Friday, even if it was only a practice. With one of the biggest divisional games of the year on tap Sunday, and with rain forecasted for it, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin took advantage of an opportunity to put...

It took time for meaningful evidence to be presented. But the Pittsburgh Steelers are for real. They can prove it Sunday by winning at Baltimore to take firm control of the AFC North, take a leap toward 10-0 and make surviving members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins sweat. (The Steelers...

The NFL season isn’t even half over for the Pittsburgh Steelers, yet wide receiver Diontae Johnson soon will need a second hand to count the number of injuries he has suffered this year. It started in training camp with a lower leg injury. A concussion in Week 3 knocked him...

A Baltimore television station is ramping up the trash talk for Sunday’s Steelers-Ravens game. And Ben Roethlisberger is in the crosshairs. Big Ben also talks about that big signing in Tampa Bay. We’ve got Baltimore injury news, too. And the latest on a familiar face potentially quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys....

Even at 6-0, it still may not be easy for fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers to envision a win for their team Sunday in Baltimore. But Mike Tomlin’s club is certainly better poised to beat the Ravens than it was last season. For one, Ben Roethlisberger is healthy at quarterback....

BALTIMORE — Throughout the 1960s, former Baltimore Colts wide receiver Jimmy Orr owned a patch of land fondly called Orrsville. Located in the right corner of the end zone at the closed end of Memorial Stadium, it’s where the sure-handed fan favorite caught most of his 66 touchdown receptions during...

One of the notable matchups of Sunday’s AFC North showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is one of the league’s deepest wide receivers corps against one of its best cornerbacks groups. But could that group of Baltimore cornerbacks be without arguably its best member? Veteran Jimmy Smith did...

For one game, at least, Ben Roethlisberger gets to see what his positional counterparts have faced all season. A team with a strong pass rush that likes to blitz. Analytics outlets throughout the season have remarked how much the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens both like to blitz. The Steelers...

Two of the players the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at to help replace the production of Devin Bush missed at least part of Thursday’s practice. Nickel cornerback Mike Hilton practiced Thursday for the first time in almost two weeks, but it was in a limited capacity. Reserve inside linebacker Ulysees...

When Ben Roethlisberger said the Pittsburgh Steelers would take the ball last Sunday after correctly calling tails for the coin toss, it put the defense in unfamiliar territory. It was the first time the Steelers won the toss this year and didn’t elect to put the defense on the field...

Thursday’s “First Call” features some unreal stats about the Steelers-Ravens rivalry. Tom Brady makes his first comments about being reunited in Tampa with former Steelers receiver Antonio Brown. A former Steeler has been traded to a division rival. And Super Bowl seating is being debated. Quoth the Raven Exactly how...

If the first five years of Chase Claypool’s career are as good as the first five years of Dez Bryant’s career, Steelers fans will wind up being quite happy. Well, on the field anyway. That would mean 381 catches, 5,424 yards, and 58 touchdowns. Now, the Baltimore Ravens are simply...

Some Steelers fans want us to pump the brakes on all this happy talk after a 6-0 start. Other readers are mad at the Pitt football team. For various reasons. And still others made the mistake of watching the World Series. Which plunged them further into depression about being Pirates...
