‘Here We Come, Ben’: McCarthy Ribs Roethlisberger With Rodgers Poised To Pass Him On All-Time Wins List.

At 42 years old, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is closing in on history in a number of statistical categories. Rodgers has stacked up a number of impressive feats during his illustrious career, and he finds himself in position once again to move up the leader boards in the Black and Gold. Last season, Rodgers surpassed former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in passing yards, thanks to a touchdown pass to tight end Jonnu Smith against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday N...

AFC Notes: Mike McCarthy, Zac Taylor, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers

Bengals Zac Taylor enters his eighth year as the Bengals’ head coach and faces pressure to succeed after missing the postseason over the last three years. Taylor said he doesn’t pay attention to outside noise, but it’s still tough to ignore.  “The ones that get you — this happened last night — ‘Hey, don’t listen […] The post AFC Notes: Mike McCarthy, Zac Taylor, Bengals, Ravens, Steelers appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .

Back To The Future: Troy Fautanu Is ‘Ready To Go’ After Moving To Left Tackle

The offensive tackle position has been one of the hot topics of the offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They selected Max Iheanachor in the first round of the draft after the Philadelphia Eagles swooped in and took Makai Lemon one pick ahead of Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Steelers traded Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys after returning from spinal-fusion surgery. Compared to the noise surrounding those moves, Troy Fautanu’s transition from right tackle to left tackle may have flown unde...

Predicting The Steelers’ 2026 Statistical Leaders

Predicting stats for a full season in the NFL is tough to do. Many variables can shift those predictions one way or another, making it nearly impossible to get them right. That said, I’m going to take a shot at predicting the statistical leaders for the Steelers across a handful of categories today. It’s clear that Aaron Rodgers, barring injury, will lead the Steelers in passing yards and touchdowns, so no point in wasting time on that prediction. But rushing leader? Receiving leader? Sacks le...

Steelers’ Buzzer-Beater Signing History Could Hint at Another Surprise Before Week 1

The Pittsburgh Steelers have less than a day before their regular-season opener, however, history shows that the team is not necessarily done making moves just because Week 1 is almost here.

As Ray Fittipaldo pointed out, Troy Polamalu signed with the Steelers in the afternoon […] The post Steelers’ Buzzer-Beater Signing History Could Hint at Another Surprise Before Week 1 appeared first on Gridiron Heroics .

The Friendship You Didn’t Know You Needed: John Mateer And Terry Bradshaw

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer may very well be playing on Sundays next year. So, which former NFL quarterback is he modeling his game after and turning to for advice? How about a longtime FOX NFL studio analyst and Pro Football Hall of Famer? “I was at a Dallas card show, and I go in and somebody’s like, ‘Do you want to meet Terry Bradshaw?’” Mateer told FOX Sports’ Tom Rinaldi in an interview on “Big Noon Kickoff.” “I’m like, ‘Yeah, duh. Who wouldn’t?’” The two began talking, and an unexpe...

T.J. Watt Faces More Pressure Than Ever To Bounce Back, Beat Writer Says

Despite last season’s decline in production, expectations remain high for T.J. Watt this season. For most soon-to-be 32-year-old players coming off a sharp statistical decline, the assumption would be that the decline is here to stay. That pessimistic narrative isn’t surrounding Watt or the Pittsburgh Steelers, however. After recording just seven sacks in 2025, Watt […]

Mike McCarthy Expects Steelers’ Deep D-Line To ‘Carry The Team’ In 2026

The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested heavily in the trenches in recent years through draft picks, particularly along the defensive line. Now, entering the 2026 season, those investments are expected to pay off in a major way. Cameron Heyward returns for another season, having earned yet another All-Pro accolade in 2025. He’ll be the key leader of the group, which is expecting significant Year 2 growth from Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black. Veteran Sebastian Joseph-Day brings experience, while g...
