"We Do Not Seek Comfort" | The Players' Tribune
This team can win the Super Bowl. Back in November, when we were sitting at 4–5, that would've seemed like a crazy thing to say, but I fully believe it now. I'll explain why, but first I have to tell a quick story. It's about my draft night, and it's about what it means to me to wear the black and gold. (It's also pretty embarrassing, so just stick with me.) My mom says I was born to be a Steeler. I was actually born in Pittsburgh, so that was a start.
'We're Not On The Same Page Right Now': S Damontae Kazee Says Defense Can Do 'A Whole Lot Better' With Communication
The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to squeeze out another close win against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but the defense didn’t look pretty in the 23-19 home victory. Head coach Mike Tomlin showed frustration in his defense in his postgame press conference, stating that his unit cannot give up two third-down touchdowns to the Packers like it did in the first half of the game.
Florio: Firing Matt Canada Would 'Hamper' Kenny Pickett's Development If You're Really All-In On QB
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 season ended much sooner than they intended, even when they were sitting at the bye with a 2-6 record. Their efforts over the past couple of months showed that they had every intention of continuing to play throughout January and into February. Instead, they are holding their exit meetings this week and likely into next and the coaching staff and front office is beginning to strategize on what comes next.
EDGE Alex Highsmith Finishes Fourth In Brandon Thorn’s True Sack Rate Metric
NFL analyst and creator of the Trench Warfare Newsletter Brandon Thorn recently came out with his updated rankings of the 2022 True Sack Rate.
Zach Gentry On Free Agency: 'I'm Just Intrigued To See How It Goes'
The season has just ended, so we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface when it comes to digging into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ free agency projects this year. They have some significant names due to hit the open market, like Cameron Sutton, Terrell Edmunds, Larry Ogunjobi, and perhaps one of the more interesting names, four-year veteran tight end Zach Gentry.

Cam Heyward | Truss Levelz Podcast
Steeler Nation, stand up! This week on Truss Levelz Steelers’ captain and Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cam Heyward joins the guys. We got more legacy on the show than ever before, as the guys relate to having NFL fathers. Cam touches on being a beast in high school basketball in Georgia — covering Dwight Howard! — what it was like dominating high school football, and his decision to go to Ohio State. He also goes in on what it means to be a Steeler, especially as someone from Pittsburgh.
A Letter to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh grandmas. Let me tell you … they’re something else. They’re the biggest characters in the world, man. A few weeks ago, when we first started hearing reports of the coronavirus spreading to America, I was hunkered down at home with my wife and kids, when my mom called to check in. And as we’re talking, like just in passing, she mentions that my grandma is over in East Liberty at the Target. That stopped me in my tracks. Immediately, in my head, I’m like…. Grandma’s where?! Seriously? Now?

NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round Preview | By Ike Taylor
I saw a stat the other day that blew me away. I don’t remember where I saw it. It probably just flashed across the screen somewhere at the NFL Network, where I’m an analyst — my new day job. But the stat said that during my 12 years as a Pittsburgh Steeler, I had a 10–4 record in the postseason. Now that obviously says a lot more about the team that I was fortunate enough to be a part of than it does about me as an individual, but when I heard that, I was like, Damn, for real?

The Strongest Woman I've Ever Known | By DeAngelo Williams
I grew up knowing my mom would get breast cancer.It wasn’t a probability. It was an inevitability.See, some people carry something called the BRCA1 mutation, which means the gene that’s supposed to produce the proteins that suppress tumors isn’t working properly. If you have a mutated BRCA1 gene, your risk of developing cancer — especially breast cancer — skyrockets.My mom and her four sisters all had the mutation.
What the (Blank)? | Hines Ward
Welcome to the latest edition of What the (Blank)? Just like on the first day of elementary school, we ask athletes to answer a few questions about themselves so you can get to know them better. Next up is former Steelers wide receiver (and two-time Super Bowl champion) Hines Ward.
Story of My Life | By Jerome Bettis
2004We finish the season 15–1. I’m thinking, This is it. This Roethlisberger kid is the real deal. We’re gonna do it. We get to the AFC Championship Game. Who’s waiting for us? The Patriots. Again. I remember it was 10° at kickoff. We come out flat and never recover. Ballgame.After the game, I’m sitting on the sidelines, sick to my stomach. Ben Roethlisberger comes over to me and says, “Give me one more chance. I promise I’ll get you to the Super Bowl.�The dude was a rookie.
Weather the Storm | By Damon Harrison
As I looked over the edge of the Sarto Old Iron Bridge into the Bayou des Glaises, I was scared as hell. I was just 15. It was a drop of more than 30 feet to the water below. My palms were sweaty and my legs were trembling. The more I stared into the water trying to gauge how deep it was, the more I kept thinking about killing myself.Just jump off the bridge, Damon. Â I don’t know how to swim, but that was the least of my worries.
Ballers: Season 2, Episode 5 Recap
This week’s episode of Ballers showcased some interesting story lines, from Spencer’s further descent into painkiller addiction to Vernon’s new pet — the “demon-poodle,� aka an alpaca — a ridiculous but not-so-far-from-the-truth nod to how pro athletes sometimes squander their money. But the story line I want to focus on today is one that, as a former NFL player who is now a financial advisor, is close to my heart (and my life experience).
Making Them Proud | By Sterling Shepard
One of my favorite memories as a kid is when my dad took me to the racquetball courts with him. While he played, I would sit on the other side of the glass wall and try to follow the little blue rubber ball as my dad blasted it around the court. My dad wasn’t a big guy — he was only 5-foot-10 — but to me, he was a giant.He was my dad.He was my hero.He was so athletic, and a workout maniac. Those racquetball games would usually be his third workout of the day.
The Players' Tribune
Ten years ago, my dad died from brain cancer.He was a lovable, happy-go-lucky, hilarious human being — a little kid trapped in a big man’s body. Everyone called him “Ironhead.�I’ll let you in on how he got that nickname later — the real scoop, from our family, not the fake story I’ve seen on Wikipedia — but first I’d like to share a few stories with you.They won’t be sad stories or emergency room tales.
