Whilst the Pittsburgh Steelers were narrowly beaten by the Jacksonville Jaguars in last season’s NFL playoffs, the team is looking beyond football to invest in the world of esports. It was revealed in late 2018, that the Steelers would be partnering up with the professional esports team, Pittsburgh Knights. The move will benefit both teams by sharing the huge fanbases from both parties and it was one of the first
They say that a tie is like kissing your sister. Well thanks to Mother Nature, long time AFC North rivals, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, lip-locked following a hard-fought, penalty-filled 21-21 deadlock. With All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell back in Pittsburgh and three first-half interceptions by Ben Roethlisberger, both teams racked up a combined 23 penalties for 203 yards in penalties in what was a very physical, old-school white-knuckle type of game reminiscent
The AFC North will be more competitive this year. Although the norm seems to be the Steelers and Ravens dominating the North, the Browns will be on their heels. There is an expectation that the Browns are actually a dark horse to make the wild card playoffs. It is lofty to expect any 0-16 team to advance to the playoffs the year after. Let's take an objective look at how
The Pittsburgh Steelers found their quarterback of the future when the team selected Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph. While it would appear this is the best fit for the third-round draft pick, Rudolph may not see the field for the next 3-5 years. Starter and grizzled veteran Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t plan on putting away the football just yet. "If he's going to be their guy, that's great; but in my perfect
Would the Pittsburgh Steelers defy logic and potentially draft a wide receiver with the 28th pick in the first round? Don’t count the possibility it out. The Steelers, a team that fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Divisional Playoffs, 45-42, have needs at linebacker, the secondary and possibly running back. Wide receiver wouldn’t seem high on the list of priorities given the franchise has Antonio Brown and JuJu
Per NFL.com and other news sources, the Pittsburgh Steelers have announced they have exercised the fifth-year option on linebacker Bud Dupree’s rookie contract. Per the report by Marc Sessler, Dupree's price tag for 2019 comes in at a robust $9.232 million. “Dupree remains a work in progress for the Steelers,” writes Sessler. “The 22nd overall pick from 2015 has failed to top six sacks in any of his first three
Evidently, the Pittsburgh Steelers want to get a deal done with their star running back Le’Veon Bell, but the organization has said it will take care of business when the time is “appropriate.” The Steelers once again placed the franchise tag on Bell, which has made him none too pleased that a long-term deal has not been reached yet. Per Nick Shook of NFL.com, Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert
The Pittsburgh Steelers will get Le’Veon Bell for the regular season, but if the franchise is expecting anything “extra” from the star running back, they will have to work out a long-term deal. Bell was once again handed the franchise tag, which means no new deal for the second season in a row. According to ESPN.com’s Jeremy Fowler, Bell did say he has no plans of sitting out the 2018
At some point, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is going to stop throwing a football. That time is sooner rather than later. The 36-year-old has flirted with the media about ending his NFL career, even questioning whether he “still had it” after a five-interception loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars during Week 5 of the 2017 NFL season. The Steelers may not consider quarterback an immediate need for this franchise, but
Like those anxious to see the Steeler offense at full strength, many people are excited to see what a maturing Pittsburgh Steelers defense brings to the table in 2017. If everyone plays to their potential, this could be the best defense in Pittsburgh since 2011 when they led the league allowing just 15.1 points per game. That was the team shocked by Tim Tebow and the Broncos in the playoffs.
