When news that Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward was released came out, I couldn't help but stare at my phone, gasping and sputtering in utter shock and disbelief. Okay, okay, we knew the day was most likely coming, but come on. Even his official Facebook page said that he didn't...

All this past week, I was thinking how embarrassing it'd be if the 12-4 Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the 8-8 Denver Broncos. But there was no chance of that happening, right? The Steelers were heavily favored. Plenty has been said by commentators about how unfair it was that the Broncos,...

It doesn't really matter how they pulled it off, as it was a season of ups and downs and lots of hangovers, but the Steelers ended up 12-4 for the regular season, secured the #5 seed in the AFC, and are heading to Denver on Sunday, Jan. 8...

The Pittsburgh Steelers actually managed to not keep things close playing against division opponent the Cincinnati Bengals. With the Bengals fighting for their playoff lives, this game certainly didn't go how many were expecting it to. For the Steelers, after the sloppy win last Sunday night against the Kansas City...

Sunday Night Football featured the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, with the Steelers coming in as the heavy favorites. But I've said it before this season and I'll say it again: the Steelers, for the good and bad, like to keep things exciting. As a fan, I did...

Want to know the worst part of Daylight Savings Time? Knowing I'd have to wait a whole extra hour for the Sunday Night Football game, one of the most exciting matchups in all of the NFL: The Baltimore Ravens taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Certainly this game...

So I was going into the Steelers vs. Patriots game rather skeptical. Let's face it: Tom Brady was 6-1 against the Steelers and they tend to beat Pittsburgh's defense up. I was even more worried since linebackers James Harrison and James Farrior, plus wide receiver Hines Ward, were out, our...

I'll just come out and say it -- I think mostly 99 percent of those who actually care about the NFL thought the Steelers were going to win this one. This game was semi-insignificant enough that CBS in New York City opted to air some golf special and local news...

With the Pittsburgh Steelers coming off a close win against a Peyton Manning-less Indianapolis Colts, I don't know if anyone had any idea how a game against the Houston Texans was going to turn out. That the first half were to end with a blocked field goal attempt ran back...

Certainly the football-powers-that-be couldn't have been all that happy that the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football... without Peyton Manning. Poor Peyton had to go all the way to a different country to get a procedure done on his neck, so 38-year-old...

The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) won big-time against the Seattle Seahawks (0-2), routing them 24-0 at their home opener. The Steelers have officially proven themselves the wine drinkers, not the grape stompers, today. Thank you for that analogy, Mike Tomlin. You really are a lord among press conferences.

In even better...

Wow, it really couldn't have gone much worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers against their biggest rival, the Baltimore Ravens. As I sit here in shock, beer in hand, it's kind of amazing to me that this team actually made it to the Super Bowl last season. With that offensive line?...

Even though the New York Jets have lost twice in a row, with quarterback Mark Sanchez struggling, it was difficult to predict the outcome of this important game, particularly after the Baltimore Ravens won earlier. The absence of Heath Miller and, most importantly, Troy Polamalu was also weighing on Steelers'...

Where would the Steelers be without Troy Polamalu?

Polamalu and linebacker LaMarr Woodley both returned interceptions for touchdowns, the only TDs the Steelers were able to score. The first quarter was rough for the Steelers; the offense was able to gain only 34 yards. But then an interception by safety...

The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens game was everything a football fan would expect: It was violent, hard-hitting, low-scoring, and fun to watch. And it's hard to say whether Ben Roethlisberger's nose will ever look the same.

What a showdown.

At this super-important AFC North contest, both teams had...

This Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) vs. Buffalo Bills (2-9) match-up was a tale of two halves (and then some overtime). The Steelers completely dominated the Bills in the first half, heading into the locker room with a 13-0 lead. But the Steelers blew the lead and had to keep this game...

The New England Patriots got beat by the Cleveland Browns 34-14 last week. The Pittsburgh Steelers barely won against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. This does not a Steelers victory make.

It was an extremely long, steady beat-down of the team that was supposedly one of the best...

Forget about a 27-7 lead; the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals had to keep it exciting right to the very end. Gotta love AFC North games on national television.

The game started out great for the Steelers, and they began the fourth quarter with a 20-point lead. It looked like...

The Pittsburgh Steelers just got spanked by the New Orleans Saints. There was nothing creepier about the Halloween weekend than watching them fall apart at the seams.

It was the first game Ben Roethlisberger lost since he returned from his suspension. Tight end Heath Miller had an uncharacteristic fumble during...

With all the hoopla and hype surrounding the return of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, as a Steelers fan, when you come right down to it, this was an important division game. It had to be won, and even though the Steelers were playing the Cleveland Browns, you just never...
