One day during training camp in 1968, recent Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick Rocky Bleier had what he thought was the happiest day of his life — at least, at that point. Then Steelers head coach Bill Austin approached Bleier, the former Notre Dame halfback taken with the 417th pick. Austin told him that he received

With the conclusion of a crazy Broncos vs. Seahawks game on Monday Night, a wild Week 1 has concluded. As we head into Week 2, I wanted to take a moment to look back on Week 1 and talk about some of the oddities. Wide Receiving Struggles: New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers

Let’s overreact to NFL Week Five… Carolina Panthers Claim: Sam Darnold is broken. He looked like a new quarterback through the first three weeks of the season, prompting David Newton to write an article called “Carolina Panthers successfully exorcising Sam Darnold’s ghosts from NY Jets.” However, in weeks four and five, Darnold threw a combined six

At the start of the season, had you told me that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be 0-3, I would have believed you. I would not have believed you if you told me the Kansas City Chiefs went 1-2 in their first three games. The Chiefs are not the only surprise of the season, of course.

Last week I wrote about the crazy opening weekend: The Titans’ crazy game against the Cardinals, the Browns’ great showing against the Chiefs, the Saints rolling the Packers and the Steelers locking down the Bills. I think I did pretty well. The Titans’ offense bounced back against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Browns seem to

Going into Week 9, it felt like I had a solid feel for the NFL season. The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the top-tier teams in the NFC. The AFC had the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers as their two top-tier teams. However, coming out of Week 9, I feel awfully

Notre Dame is a Catholic university. But if there’s ever a time to believe in the football gods, it’s right now. Last week, sportswriter Patrick Gallagher hit on his fifth straight upset pick (underdogs of at least 7 points), with yet another double-digit underdog pulling through, as he continues to expand his lead on his

Well, Pittsburgh Steelers fans should be much happier with their current record of 6-2-1 than they were five weeks ago, when the team was at 1-2-1. In large part, the Steelers’ improvement is simply a product of them settling into the season and finding a rhythm — they usually have a few embarrassing stumbles at

During the NFL Preseason, Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Le’Veon Bell announced that he would not report to training camp, causing a ‘Twitterstorm’ and much public criticism —including from his own teammates. Through three weeks of the NFL regular season, Bell’s holdout continues to be one of the hottest topics in the NFL. Sports analysts and

Have you been watching this season’s hottest new drama? It really has it all — infighting, shocking twists, complete breakdowns, temper tantrums, betrayals, the list goes on. It’s entertaining, thrilling or infuriating depending on your point of view. It’s called “The Pittsburgh Steelers.” Instead of starting 2-0 and leading the AFC North, as predicted, the
