Top Three Trade Landing Spots for San Francisco 49ers Receiver Brandon Aiyuk
Thee San Francisco 49ers reportedly do not want to trade Brandon Aiyuk. But if they do, these three teams make the most sense as trade partners....

With Russell Wilson on the outs in Denver, could QB-needy Pittsburgh be his next destination?
The past few years have been less than ideal in the football life of Russell Wilson. After a Hall of Fame career in Seattle, Wilson finished out his time there with a whimper. He wasn’t horrible but some could see the decline coming and this included then-head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks shippe...

Here are the possible landing spots for Bears QB Justin Fields
Justin Fields’ days as a Chicago Bear might be coming to an end. With rumors circulating about if the team will draft a new QB — undoubtedly former Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams — with that No. 1 pick, keep Fields, or trade him, here are six teams who have either emerged as front runners for ...

Pittsburgh isn’t exactly set at the QB position, but how keen will they be to bring in a veteran QB?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a season where they won 10 games and made the playoffs as they shuffled through three different quarterbacks. One-and-done in the postseason might not sound like an accomplishment, but for this team with that offense, a lot less was expected. Knowing the strugg...

The NFL’s Black coaches are turning Wild-Card Weekend into a diversity showcase
There’s one storyline the NFL hasn’t highlighted heading into the postseason, and that’s probably for legal reasons. At least, I can’t imagine the league’s attorneys would advise them to showcase its entire roster of Black head coaches making the playoffs, considering Brian Flores’ lawsuit is still ...

All this talk about Mike Tomlin needs to stop
The conversation surrounding Mike Tomlin is so confusing. Pittsburgh is a game over .500, and with trips to Seattle and Baltimore remaining, the worst-case scenario is the coach’s 16-year streak of winning seasons snaps with an 8-9 record....

Pittsburgh might have to ride the Mitch Trubisky wave to a playoff berth
Just when Pittsburgh Steeler fans thought it was safe to step out and feel confident about their offense, we had a Mitchell Trubisky sighting Sunday. The Steelers had been rolling, winning three out of their last four games entering Week 13's battle with Arizona. Trubisky came in after Kenny Pickett...

Mike Tomlin has never won Coach of the Year and that needs to change
Seeing a team like this version of the Pittsburgh Steelers in today’s NFL is amazing. They’ve struggled to score points all season, averaging less than 17 per game, yet the Steelers are three games over .500 and currently fifth in the AFC playoff seeding. With a 7-4 record and a point differential o...

The Steelers finally fire Matt Canada, officially have no excuses left
Let it never be said again that the Rooney family, owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers, are loyal to a fault. It’s easy to see how many fans of the Black & Yellow, and national observers of the franchise, developed that opinion in recent years. ...

The Steelers have a mini-mutiny on their hands
Najee Harris has every right to be frustrated. The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been putting Band-Aids over its leaks all season just trying to get to the next day. It is a strategy that has largely worked. They have scored 25 or more points only once this season, yet still remain in the thick of...

George Pickens is becoming this generation's human highlight reel
Dominique Wilkins will forever be known as the human highlight film, but a Gen-Z version of that nickname needs to be invented for George Pickens. He dazzled in his first training camp, preseason, and also during the regular season. Pickens is picking up right where he left off, drawing oohs and aah...

ESPN Cleveland radio host goes off on low expectations for Browns
Success for the Cleveland Browns has been limited over the past few decades. Since 1990, the Browns have advanced to the postseason three times. The last won a division title in ‘89 in the old AFC Central. Needless to say, there aren’t too many Browns believers outside city limits. That’s what has E...

Le’Veon Bell speaks out on state of NFL running back position
The deadline for franchise-tagged players and their teams to come to an agreement has come and gone, and neither Saquon Barkley nor Josh Jacobs got the long-term extension they were seeking. Of course, everyone has an opinion on the situation NFL running backs find themselves in frequently. There mi...

Tough luck Pittsburgh, no Beyoncé for you
A significant blow was delivered to the Pittsburgh economy on Wednesday. At summer’s end, Acrisure Stadium will have hosted only one of the biggest concert tours of the season. Taylor Swift performed there in front of a record crowd in June. Beyoncé was scheduled to take that stage in August but the...

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett's car was stolen during a radio appearance
Pittsburgh Steelers country is not like Los Angeles. On the West Coast, athletes are like other celebrities, people with public schedules so burglars know the best times to break into their homes. The way that Pittsburgh rides for the Steelers, it could be reasonably assumed that Kenny Pickett has f...

Are the Dallas Cowboys really America's Team or just popular with gamblers?
A new study by Ohio Sports Betting researched the most popular NFL teams in the country by state. The Dallas Cowboys won by a whopping margin as the overwhelming team of choice in 15 states. This study was based on Google search data collected over the last 12 months. The Cowboys ran away with the c...

Mike Tomlin is a certified Hall of Famer deserving of a statue in Pittsburgh
When the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 28-14 at home on Sunday, it capped a season in which they won their last four games despite starting 2-6. And while Pittsburgh just missed out on making the postseason for what would have been the 11th time in Tomlin’s 16 seasons on the side...

History is not on the Philadelphia Eagles' side despite an 8-0 start
Thursday Night Football saw the Philadelphia Eagles win their eighth game in a row, a 29-17 victory over the woeful Houston Texans. While many people have claimed the Eagles are frauds due to their lackluster schedule, it’s hard to deny just how electric their offense has looked and how stout their ...

NFL Week 8 Powerless Ranking: Could it get any worse?
It’s time to check in on the teams that can’t get out of their own way. We’re just about halfway through the 2022 NFL season, and it’s been unpredictable at times, but there are always a few teams we expect to disappoint their fan base. Now let’s get into the powerless ranking for Week 8....

Todd Bowles has forgotten where he came from — and who he is. Hopefully, Sunday’s loss from Mike Tomin (and Brian Flores) helped him remember. ...
