The Steelers are number one on basically all of the power rankings around the web this week. Obviously, that doesn’t mean squat. But it’s nice to see the team and especially the defense getting a lot of recognition for their start to the year. It’s been an awesome three weeks. If you have read Blitzburgh […]

The Steelers defense smothered the Buccaneers , as expected, all game long. But an unexpected boost from Charlie Batch‘s arm went a long way in helping the Steelers rout Tampa Bay 38-13 this afternoon. Homestead Charlie tossed three TDs, including a pair of long ones to Mike Wallace and the Steelers had a downfield passing […]

Wow. There was a lot of talk this week about Chris Johnson and his quest for 2,000 yards rushing and his 12 game streak of 100-yard rushing games. After today’s game, all the talk will deservedly be about the Steelers defense. In a performance for the ages, the Steelers forced 7 turnovers. They intercepted Vince […]

What a start to the season. I don’t think you can ask for a whole lot more (except for a little offense). We saw big time sacks, a clutch interception, field goal drama, and of course a game-ending 50-yard TD run. As a whole, the Steelers looked pretty solid. The defense was stellar all game […]

Coach Mike Tomlin announced this afternoon that Dennis Dixon would start next weekend’s opening game against the Atlanta Falcons. Veteran Charlie Batch will backup Dixon. Opinions have varied all preseason over who should play during Ben Roethlisberger’s four game suspension. Even when Byron Leftwich was healthy, Steeler fans were split pretty evenly between Leftwich, Dixon, […]
