It was all set up for the Steelers on Sunday. They faced a Cleveland Browns team that was 3-12 coming into the game and quarterbacked by Shedeur Sanders, who doesn't currently seem capable of throwing for more than 200 yards. Without DK Metcalf, suspended after hitting a fan last week in Detroit, the Steelers seemed resigned to scoring fewer than 20 points, which they did, losing 13-6.
The Patriots' second-round pick in 2020 had become a prominent part of their defense over the five years he was part of the team, which earned him an extension last offseason. But a rough 2024 season, plagued by a misdiagnosed injury, hurt his chances of remaining on the roster under Vrabel, and he wasn't able to prove his value to the team with the opportunities he was given.
Screenshot NFL legend Terry Bradshaw stunned Fox Sports viewers Sunday when he admitted he's never actually met Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Bradshaw, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, spent his entire 14-year career with the Steelers. He won three MVP awards and four Super Bowls, cementing himself as one of the best players the franchise has ever had.
Veteran cornerback Darius Slay, who was claimed by the Bills on waivers Wednesday, is unsure if he wants to continue playing and will not be reporting to Buffalo. "Slay is honored that a first-class organization like the Bills claimed him, but he is going to take some time away from football right now and decide in the next few days if he wants to keep playing," Slay's agent, Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and they looked like crap the whole time. These awful outfits were meant to be throwbacks honoring the Steelers' inaugural season in 1933. They looked so dumb. This looks like a still from a low-budget movie in which a washed-up quarterback wins the Super Bowl while defeating cancer through the power of prayer.
"It's not the secondary, that's a cop-out," defensive tackle Cameron Heyward said. "I think the front line, we got to control line of scrimmage a lot better. I'm pissed off. We didn't take care of our job. ... they were last in rushing, and the way we gave it up today that takes the cake. We got to stop the f---ing run. That's as simple as that."
It's a scene not unlike thousands unfolding across Western Pennsylvania, though there are differences. He won't be wearing a black and gold jersey or twirling a Terrible Towel. Those aren't allowed here. That's because this man is watching from his cell at State Correctional Institute-Fayette, a maximum security prison that currently houses 1,991 incarcerated men from across the commonwealth.
It was just a great trip. Obviously, a component of it being a great trip is doing the job, and thankfully we were able to do that. We made it a little more entertaining than maybe it should have been, but the Vikings had a lot to do with that. That group's got a lot of fight. They're well coached. But today was just a fun atmosphere, good to get a win.
It represented another close one for Mike Vrabel's team, as New England has played in three consecutive one-score games. Sunday was an especially frustrating one for Patriots fans, watching their team go down to defeat after committing five turnovers. The mistakes marred what was an otherwise solid performance, as New England out-gained Pittsburgh 369 to 203. Surveying the scene, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky and NFL reporter Adam Schefter lamented the early-season missed opportunities for the Patriots during a Monday segment on " Get Up! "
