Flores is in high demand. He's already interviewed for the Baltimore Ravens' head-coaching opening. The Minnesota Vikings are confident about keeping him around if he fails to get a top job elsewhere. And the biggest possible danger also threw their hat into the ring just as the respected defensive mind was sitting down with head coach Dan Quinn and others in positions of power.
"I'm not going to say, 'Well, we're going to take a couple of years to figure this out and then we'll try to compete,'" Rooney said. "I think you try every year. Some years you have the horses to really get there. Some years you don't, but you try every year, in my view."
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.
