Pittsburgh Steelers / NFL

The Steelers are a bad team. The host Los Angeles Chargers were badly banged up for Sunday’s prime-time clash, but the Steelers were flat, Aaron Rodgers performed at a New York Jets level of bumbling, big-money bozos T.J. Watt and DK Metcalf were invisible, and the Steelers committed hara-kiri by...

It’s easy for 105.9 The X’s Mark Madden to explain how the Pittsburgh Steelers regressed so dramatically Sunday night in Los Angeles, following their big win over Indianapolis last week. “I could drive a truck down Main Street, U.S.A., and come back with 11 guys who could stop that Steelers...

Pittsburgh Steelers faithful know quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been relatively dependable this season, even as he nears 42 years of age.

In Monday’s “First Call,” Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin are singing different tunes about the run game. Justin Fields and the Jets beat the Browns. The Ravens get another win. Russell Wilson is quarterbacking the Giants again. Plus, we have lots to discuss on the local college basketball front. Different...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — For all the extra work being applied by the Acrisure Stadium grounds crew this season, it pales in comparison to the time spent on the field by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Another case of the Steelers defense working overtime with little tangible result was on display Sunday...

The evening started badly and just kept getting worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers on “Sunday Night Football” in Los Angeles. Prior to kickoff, NBC aired a hacky, courtroom-themed pre-game show vignette with Judge Judy. Little did I know she was a Chargers fan. Little did I know she was still...

INGLEWOOD, Calif — A visit to the West Coast turned out to be anything but a trip to the beach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite being embraced by thousands of Terrible-Towel waving fans who provided the feel of a home game, the Steelers were given a rude reception by the...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – With Isaac Seumalo missing from the offensive line because of injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers dressed veteran backup Andrus Peat for the first time this season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers added veteran Trey Sermon to the active roster Saturday, allowing the special-teams contributor to be in uniform for Sunday’s game at the Los Angeles Chargers. A running back by trade who was once a third-round pick, Sermon has taken only one offensive snap for the Steelers this...

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t yet at the turn, as offensive coordinator Arthur Smith put it earlier this week, but Week 9 marked the midpoint of the NFL schedule. Which makes it as good a time as any to look back at some of the noteworthy moments from the first half...

1. Cushion-ing the blow It can be argued whether DK Metcalf has or has not provided elite wide receiver production commensurate with his $150 million contract through half a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But don’t confuse that discussion with one about a lack of Metcalf commanding respect from opposing...

Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers are preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 10 “Sunday Night Football” clash. The contest could end up being one of Herbert’s toughest tests of the season thus far. That may seem strange considering the Steelers defense hasn’t been a top-tier...

He has known most of his teammates for less than 31⁄2 months, and he joined a team with no shortage of respected veterans who hold sterling resumes. None of that has stopped Jalen Ramsey from quickly establishing himself as a leader for the Pittsburgh Steelers, on and off the field....

It’s been less than 14 months since the Pittsburgh Steelers faced Justin Herbert. But it’s been a lot longer than that since the Steelers had to deal with the real Herbert. “I feel like we caught a flyer a year ago,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Herbert, the Los...

He sees his acquisition by the Steelers as a chance to finally stand out. A 330-pound defensive tackle, Martin-Rhodes was signed off...

No more Mr. Eligible for Mr. Anderson. On Sunday, at least, call him Mr. Starting Left Guard. Spencer Anderson will get his first start of the season on the offensive line, and it will come on “Sunday Night Football.” Via the status report released Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers ruled starting...

A lot of Pittsburgh Steelers fans and media members looked at the team’s current three-game stretch between Cincinnati Bengals contests as a real measuring stick. Especially after that gut-punch of a loss in Cincy on “Thursday Night Football” last month. At that point, the Packers, Colts and Chargers were all...
