The news came out in today’s [...]

The Steelers have not won a Super Bowl when they’ve had a bye since they won their fourth, XIV after the 1979 season. “I think people may think there may be an advantage in a bye week, mentally,” Troy Polamalu said. “I don’t think there is at all. I think physically there is.” [...]
The Steelers took to the practice field today as they started their “off week” of practices, and they got a good surprise, as QB Ben Roethlisberger showed up at the session. Ben didn’t take part in any type of drills, but just him being with the team is a good sign after Sunday’s scary [...]
Watching the Steelers put the finishing touches on a dominating win Sunday over the awful Cleveland Browns, the team looks like they are going to be awfully tough to beat in the playoffs from a defensive standpoint.

Coach Mike Tomlin: That was the exclamation point that we were looking for to end our regular season. The guys did a nice job of staying focused and going out and executing. Hopefully that momentum will prepare us for January football. We will wait to see who we play here in a couple of weeks. [...]
While the Pittsburgh Steelers had nothing to play for in terms of seeding in the AFC on Sunday, they wanted to put forth a statement against the Cleveland Browns. While they did that with a 31-0 romping against the Browns and their fourth starting quarterback this season – Bruce Gradkowski, the Steelers may have [...]
Man I can’t believe how bad the Browns are…another three-and-out…of course Holmes almost gave it right back to them with a fumble, but he jumped on it…4:54 left, and we’ll see if once and for all the D can just stand pat and get the shutout…
Another big play by the D….Carter takes back [...]
Parker up to 90 yards…I guess Tomlin wasn’t fooling anyone…all the starters are still in there…
Big play by the D gets a pick by Carter. The short field results in a chip shot field goal by Reed that makes it 17-0. The D is playing more than well enough to pitch the shutout [...]
