Penguins enter 60th season expecting more

Sidney Crosby has a pretty simple way of measuring whether the Penguins take a step forward. 'I think just going further, deeper than we did last year,' he'd say Tuesday at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. 'That's how I'd gauge it.'

Chinakhov elevated to Penguins' top power play

With Bryan Rust injured and the Penguins spending extensive time working on special teams Tuesday, Egor Chinakhov was elevated to the top power play unit ahead of Wednesday's season opener against the Flyers in Philadelphia.

Chalk Talk: A case for more brawn, less brains

After a terrible offensive performance in their Week 2 loss to the Patriots, the Steelers came back with a fury and racked up 411 total yards in their 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. And part of the focus was being the more physical team.

21 Takes: It's high time Warren (really) soars

'I want the football. I always want the football.' That was Jaylen Warren. Only it wasn't spoken on this Sunday afternoon, when it could've been seen as convenient, after he and the Steelers ran all over the Bengals, 30-27, and after he alone accounted for 176 of the offense's 411 yards. Nope. It was a week ago up in Foxborough, Mass. Just him and me.

The Steelers' defense didn't play a game they like to play. Joe Burrow racked up 282 yards against their zone coverage. The pass rush didn't get home enough, either. But when the defense needed to make a stand, Derrick Harmon came through to seal a 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon at Acrisure Stadium.

Final: Steelers 30, Bengals 27

Who: Steelers (1-1) vs. Bengals (2-0). What: NFL regular season, Week 3. When: 1:03 p.m. Where: Acrisure Stadium. Weather: 70 degrees, partly cloudy, 2 percent chance rain, 13-mph wind. TV: CBS (national).

With Dowdle out, Nichols in line for action

Rico Dowdle, unable to practice all week because of a toe injury, will be out for the Steelers this weekend against the Bengals. That puts a lot on Jaylen Warren, who's been splitting snaps with Dowdle, but it also creates an opportunity for others in the running back room.
