Steelers QB Mason Rudolph follows path from ‘Football City, USA’ to NFL starter

They call it Football City, USA. Football City doesn’t have an NFL stadium, but it has enough native sons who played in the league it seemingly could field a team. And, at long last, Football City has its starting quarterback. Rock Hill, S.C., native Brett Mason Rudolph makes his first...
Bud Dupree fined $21K for hit on Seahawks’ Russell Wilson

SAN FRANCISCO — Bud Dupree didn’t get flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson last Sunday, but he will be a little lighter in the wallet because of the transgression.

Tim Benz: Feel no shame; wallow in Antonio Brown’s self-imposed misfortune

Especially based...

Steelers make ‘some alterations’ in bid to address West Coast woesVideo

Were he alive today, Horace Greeley would tell the Pittsburgh Steelers not to heed his most famous quotation. When the noted 1800s author and statesman uttered his legendary phrase regarding the country’s migration — “Go West, young man” — he most certainly did not have the Steelers in mind. If...

“When in doubt, write about the quarterback.” A wise, old sportswriter said that. The Steelers quarterback situation is obviously in major flux. Between that and the acquisition of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, other headaches are lost in the shuffle. Like James Conner’s pathetic 2.6-yard rushing average.

Steelers’ Ola Adeniyi figures to get shot rushing passers

It took an injured-reserve stint, a separate knee surgery, the loss of a peer via waivers and a foot injury to one of the players ahead of him on the depth chart. But at last, it appears as if it’s Ola’s time. Ola Adeniyi likely enters Sunday’s game at the...

Tim Benz: 49ers tight end George Kittle could crush Steelers

George Kittle must be good. His numbers are off to a slow start in 2019. Yet everybody I’ve talked to says he’s playing better than ever. Over the last eight games of 2018, the San Francisco 49ers tight end averaged 99 yards per game. So far in 2019, he’s only...
