Madden season is coming to a close. With just three Detroit Lions games left, there are only three games left to simulate on the popular video game series. Unfortunately, next week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings falls on Christmas, and I will not be in town to simulate Lions vs. Vikings on Madden. So that […]
It’s a big late-season matchup on Sunday as the 8-6 Pittsburgh Steelers take on the 8-6 Detroit Lions. Earlier this week, I spoke with Ryan Mathews, the senior editor of SB Nation’s Lions website Pride of Detroit, to learn what to expect from the Steelers’ Week 16 opponent. You can read my questions and his answers below: […]
With the Detroit Lions’ margin for error gone in their playoff race, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the first team in their way between them and the postseason. If Detroit drops their home finale to the AFC foe, their playoff chances aren’t completely gone, but we’re talking about postseason odds in the single digits. On paper, […]
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell is in the midst of a breakout campaign, emerging as one of the most reliable and versatile weapons in Pittsburgh’s offense. Through the late stages of the season, Gainwell has posted 451 rushing yards, 332 receiving yards, and six total touchdowns — all career highs and a reflection of […]

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday Night open thread: My song(s) rec for the night: Recently listened to this whole album while watching Steelers tape and had a 10/10 experience. It came out earlier this year but has some Fleetwood Mac vibes.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without edge rusher T.J. Watt on Sunday when they take on the Detroit Lions. Watt is still recovering from a surgery to repair a partially collapsed lung. He missed Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins, as well. Pittsburgh will also be without guard Isaac Seumalo and cornerback James Pierre. Long […]
The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 16 matchup in downtown Detroit. There are a lot of moving parts along the Lions’ interior offensive line right now, as several starters are dealing with injuries or attempting to return from one. Let’s take a look at […]
If you’re like me, you just got home from your final round of Christmas shopping – shoutout to the South Hills Village Mall. Best mall in Pittsburgh, for my money.

During his Friday press conference, Miami Dolphins’ head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Anthony Weaver’s defense would be without (at least) one of their top players as the team looks to right the ship on Sunday vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. After leaving Monday Night’s dreadful 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury, […]
Practice? We’re talking about practice? Not a game, practice. To be efficient and best prepared for the game, Aaron Rodgers is all about reps and successful drills in practice. The 42-year-old quarterback has won four MVPs and defeated the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, but remains dedicated to the work done on the practice fields […]
The Steelers shuffled their practice squad Friday morning, signing long snapper Cal Adomitis to the practice squad and releasing linebacker Kana’i Mauga in a corresponding move, the team announced. The timing is interesting as starting Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz was listed on the team’s Thursday injury report as limited with a knee injury. Pittsburgh […]
The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) will square off in a Week 16 matchup at Ford Field, the final regular-season home game of the year. “Steelers, man. Got a lot of respect for this team, got a lot of respect for Mike Tomlin, been doing it for a long time, hell of a […]
The Detroit Lions cannot wait any longer. If they’re going to make a serious Super Bowl push, it has to start this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For any realistic chance to make the playoffs, the Lions need to win out, and even that doesn’t guarantee them a spot in the postseason. The Steelers, too, […]
Not many expected the Steelers and Lions to have identical records entering their Week 16 matchup in Detroit. Still, Sunday’s upcoming battle between 8-6 teams has the Lions as a consensus seven-point favorite, despite sitting one spot shy of the playoffs in a competitive NFC. In this week’s preview, Read & React will be taking […]
Even when I try to go simple with my bold prediction, it still doesn’t come true. Last week’s prediction was a big ask, despite it being straightforward. This week’s bold prediction might be too much to ask for in this game, but as much as the Detroit Lions are in must-win mode, so am I. […]
Cleveland Browns (3-11) The Browns lost their third straight game last Sunday and 11th overall on the season, in a dismal 31-3 beatdown at the hands of the Chicago Bears.

This week’s Detroit Lions coordinator recap focuses a little more on recapping the loss to the Los Angeles Rams rather than looking forward to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, it features a lot of interesting topics, including Jameson Williams’ explosion over the past six games, some important self-scouting on defense, and a full-throated endorsement of kicker […]
The Steelers made the signing of outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon official on Thursday, releasing defensive tackle Brodric Martin-Rhodes in a corresponding roster move. Pittsburgh signed Martin-Rhodes off of the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad on Nov. 5. He appeared in one game for the Steelers, playing 10 defensive snaps against the Buffalo Bills in Week […]

Steelers center Zach Frazier was not in uniform during Wednesday’s practice, instead working off to the side in what may ultimately prove to be inconsequential, but nonetheless noteworthy, given the team’s current injury situation along the offensive line. Head coach Mike Tomlin did not mention any injury involving Frazier during his pregame or postgame media […]
Two AFC North teams faced off in Week 15 with their seasons on the line, which the other two faced opponents on opposite ends of the standings.

Jack reportedly discharged a firearm while police were performing a wellness check and was captured after jumping out of a two-story window. Jack spent two seasons with the Steelers. He […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers may need to prepare for the possibility of navigating the remainder of the season — and potentially the postseason — without their most impactful defensive player. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show said Wednesday on 93.7 The Fan that the organization would be “very lucky” if outside linebacker T.J. […]
