Steelers Standard (Pittsburgh Steelers)

The defense has done a good job of forcing turnovers and preventing scores, but there is still a lot to improve on in the second half of the season. The Bengals and Ravens both had blow out victories to keep things tight in the race for the AFC North title. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the Steelers return from the bye week it’s expected they’ll get back so much needed help from C Zach Frazier and OLB Nick Herbig.

The Jets ended their five-game losing streak last night against Houston whose CJ Stroud seems to be really struggling without his star wide receivers.

The Steelers sit at 6-2 heading into their bye week at the halfway point of the season so how would you grade the jobs done so far by Arthur Smith, Teryl Austin, and Danny Smith.

Najee Harris ran for his third straight 100-yard game, TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith both tallied two sacks, and the special teams returned a punt for a touchdown in the win over the New York Giants. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith both got to the quarterback and Beanie Bishop came up with the game-sealing interception, but the run defense allowed 150+ yards on the ground and have dropped from the second best to the fourth best run defense in the league. The Bengals got blown out at home against the Eagles, Jameis Winston got his first start of the season on his way to beating the Ravens, Jayden Da...

The Giants have been the best team all season at sacking the quarterback so it’s imperative Russell Wilson stays calm despite the pass rush to lead the offense to another offensive outburst. Malik Nabers is really the only stud the Giants have on offense, but the Steelers secondary should have an easy time shutting him down. Tom and Jacob make their predictions for who steps up against the Giants...

Russell Wilson looked a little rusty in the first quarter on Sunday, but for the rest of the night Russ was firing on all cylinders leading the Steelers to over 400 yards and 37 points on offense. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The special teams notched another blocked kick and the defense went another second half without allowing a single point so both units deserve a lot of praise. Week 7 had some of the best games of the year including the Lions ruining the Vikings perfect season, the Packers/Texans game coming down to the wire, and the Ravens continue to look like one of the best teams in football in their Monday nig...

Even though it was said last week, we are now certain that this week will finally be the week that Russell Wilson will get his first start of the season. Tom and Jacob make their predictions for who steps up against the Jets as a Big Balla. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers put up 30 points on offense and Najee Harris ran for over 100 yards both for the first time all season, the defense forced three turnovers, and the special teams got a blocked punt in an overall dominating win against the Raiders. Russell Wilson was finally given RB2 designation instead of the emergency third, does that mean he will finally start a game next week against the Jets. See...

The offensive line has been all banged up and suffered another big scare when Zach Frazier went down and is now considered week-to-week. In Week 6 we saw the Bengals barely beat the Giants, the Browns fell to 1-5, and the Lions trolled the Cowboys in a blowout victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers need to be desperate for a win at the Raiders this Sunday after dropping each of their last two games. A lack of explosiveness on offense and the depleted depth at outside linebacker on defense are the two biggest concerns that could result in a third straight loss. Tom and Jacob make their predictions for who steps up in Vegas as a Big Ballah. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Russell Wilson will be active in his first Wednesday practice of the season, but is it a guarantee that he will get the start over Justin Fields and will it even be the right decision to make the change.

The Steelers defense managed to force three turnovers but when it mattered most Dak Prescott led the Cowboys 70 yards down the field on the game winning touchdown drive. The tight ends weren’t used enough, the fun offense struggled against a bad Cowboys run defense, and George Pickens showed little effort on the field which possibly resulted in his limited snap count. See omnystudio.com/listener f...

It’s expected given Justin Fields losing each of the last two games and Russell Wilson seemingly being as close as he’s been all season to start a game, that Russ will be QB1 in Vegas this Sunday. Lots of NFL action to talk about from Week 5 including the Ravens beating the Bengals in the best game of the season so far, and the Browns getting torched by Commanders in what could have been Deshuan W...
