‘He has to answer for that’ – Steelers shocked by helmet swing of Browns’ Myles Garrett

Kevin Gorman: Browns add insult to injuries in beating Steelers
If Mason Rudolph throwing passes to Johnny Holton and Tevin Jones in the second half wasn’t a bad enough sign for the Pittsburgh Steelers, there was an even more ominous statistic. The Cleveland Browns caught more of Rudolph’s passes than those two combined, intercepting the Steelers quarterback four times on...

Steelers to have hands full with Browns RB duo of Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt
Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. give the Cleveland Browns a pair of wide receivers Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin believes is the best tandem in the NFL. Tomlin, though, has bigger issues than his defense trying to contain a duo that combined for 14 catches, 154 yards and a...
Without running mate Stephon Tuitt, Cameron Heyward been at disruptive best for Steelers 
MInkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. Watt have emerged as legitimate NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidates, Bud Dupree has played the best football of his career in a contract year and Devin Bush has played well enough it appears the Pittsburgh Steelers’ three-draft-pick investment to get him was a wise...

U mad, bro? Readers grouse over Ryan Switzer, Antonio Brown, Steelers offense, Tim Benz
Even during a four-game win streak, there is plenty of anger to be found in Steeler Nation. Granted, most of it is directed at Antonio Brown. And me. But there is anger nonetheless. We set it free in this week’s “U mad, bro?” Jolen is unhappy with Ryan Switzer. He...
Tim Benz: Steelers think they have a plan to slow Browns' receiving tandem 
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defenders weren’t shy about saying it. They knew the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive plan of attack on third down. “We knew what they were doing,” safety Minkah Fitzpatrick said. “They like to target certain players on third downs, and we just went out there and executed our...
Will the Steelers sign Colin Kaepernick? The bookmakers think it’s definitely possible
The NFL has arranged for a private workout for teams to evaluate Colin Kaepernick and his possible readiness to return to the league. If that happens, there are some who believe it could be the Pittsburgh Steelers who facilitate it. Kaepernick will work out for all NFL teams at the...
Kevin Gorman: Steelers tackle Alejandro Villanueva gets creative for Myles Garrett 
Alejandro Villanueva hardly had time to recover from four quarters against Aaron Donald when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Pro Bowl left tackle started preparing for Myles Garrett. Going from playing the two-time NFL defensive player of the year to the league’s sacks leader is a monster assignment in itself, so doing...
Steelers CB Joe Haden listed as questionable vs. Browns
Running back James Conner and guard Ramon Foster will return for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in Cleveland, but another starter surprisingly popped up on the injury report released Wednesday. Cornerback Joe Haden has an illness and is listed as questionable for the game against his former team at...
After game in which Steelers’ offense netted 1 point, defense recognizes challenge 
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense netted its team one point Sunday. That was enough for the defense. The offense committed two turnovers. Again, the defense more than made up for that. “I mean, you give them nine points, you usually lose games,” Steelers offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said in reference to...
Steelers QB Mason Rudolph 'still a work in progress’ 
He has a passer rating over his past five starts (95.1) that is better than Ben Roethlisberger posted over his past five seasons (94.2). And while that likely is more of an indictment of the passer rating statistic than it is indicative that Mason Rudolph has cemented himself as better...
With family now cheering for Steelers, Justin Layne awaits return to Cleveland
Justin Layne, Cleveland native and Steelers rookie cornerback, has a confession to make. “I’ve never been to a Browns game,” he said. This seems surreal considering he was a star wide receiver at Cleveland’s Benedictine High School and one of Ohio’s top recruits before he accepted a scholarship to Michigan...
Kevin Gorman: Browns receivers huge test for Steelers secondary
Mike Tomlin had no shortage of superlatives about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ challenge of facing Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. “From a talent standpoint, there’s no tandem that approaches those guys,” Tomlin said. “They’re impactful.” And they are a tandem that’s almost identical in impact: Landry...
Fewer chances for Steelers receivers might be leading to more dropped passes 
Attempted passes are significantly down, but dropped passes are way up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As tight end Vance McDonald noted, “I know that sounds counterintuitive.” But the Steelers say there’s a correlation. “Everyone wants to make a play, and they want to have opportunities,” offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner said....
Mason Rudolph, Baker Mayfield ready to renew college rivalry
Baker Mayfield got the upper hand on Mason Rudolph in college. Rudolph would like to return the favor Thursday night in their first NFL matchup.

Steelers unconcerned with challenges of short work week into Thursday game
It’s the Pittsburgh Steelers’ annual Thursday night game. So it must be time for everyone at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex to bemoan the short preparation week between games, right? Not exactly.
