Steelers ILB Patrick Queen focused on stopping NFL’s ‘most dangerous guy’
After the Pittsburgh Steelers had a significant number of missed tackles against the Philadelphia Eagles, Patrick Queen promised to take a long look in the mirror and search for ways to improve. “We’ve got to get better,” Queen said of the 27-14 loss to the Eagles. “The plays we should’ve...

Division titles rare as of late for Steelers, but team can clinch 1 in Baltimore
No team has won the AFC North more often since its inception in 2002 than the Pittsburgh Steelers. No team in the NFL has won more division titles since the 1970 NFL/AFL merger, either. The Steelers, though, are in the midst of a dry spell in that realm. That can...
Tim Benz: With the Steelers, the harder you look for silver linings the more rust you’ll find
A day after the Pittsburgh Steelers lost 27-13 in Philadelphia against the 12-2 Eagles, I didn’t hear a lot of Pittsburgh fans rationalizing reasons why the Steelers should’ve won the game. What I did hear a lot of, though, was rationalizing why the game wasn’t as bad as it may...
First Call: George Pickens insists of a ‘vendetta’ against Steelers … again; Diontae Johnson won’t play vs. SteelersVideo

Distance, faith in defense led Mike Tomlin to punt in 4th quarter of Steelers’ loss to Eagles
Mike Tomlin didn’t expect the Philadelphia Eagles to run out the final 10 minutes, 29 seconds to put a stranglehold on a 27-13 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Otherwise, Tomlin would not have sent his punt team on the field at that stage of the fourth quarter with...
Mark Madden: Steelers’ humbling loss to Eagles revealed certain truths
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 27-13 loss Sunday at Philadelphia seemed a declaration that they are a tier below the host Eagles and, indeed, several other top-echelon NFL teams. The Steelers might have stolen a victory had Najee Harris not fumbled away a potential game-tying drive in the third quarter with the...

Steelers vs. Eagles: What they’re saying in Philadelphia after win
As is becoming tradition, the Pittsburgh Steelers left Philadelphia without a win Sunday. For nearly six decades now, the Eagles (12-2) have been beating the Black and Gold (10-4) on their home turf. Sunday’s matchup kept with the status quo, with Philadelphia coming out on top at Lincoln Financial Field...
Madden Monday: On loss to Philly — ‘I never felt the Steelers were in danger of winning that game’
If you are looking for positives, the Pittsburgh Steelers can take from Sunday’s 27-13 loss to the Eagles, good luck. Those are going to be tough to unearth, seeing as how the team held onto the ball for only about 20 minutes, had just one touchdown drive, and could only...
‘The refs let them push off’ — Joey Porter Jr., Steelers secondary allow big day from Eagles WRs
PHILADELPHIA — In the eyes of cornerback Joey Porter Jr., the Pittsburgh Steelers secondary had to deal not only with the Philadelphia Eagles’ dynamic duo of wide receivers but with another group that made the task of limiting them all the more daunting. “I mean, the refs let them push...

Airing of Grievances: Tackling woes, failed conversion downs sink Steelers’ latest attempt to win in Philadelphia
With the Pittsburgh Steelers failing to win in Philadelphia since 1965, let’s not be surprised by the club dropping another contest there again Sunday, 27-13. Very few people, including myself, expected them to even cover the 5½-point spread against the (now) 12-2 Eagles. But, at 10-3 entering the game, there...

Jalen Hurts leads Eagles past Steelers as losing streak at Philly continues
PHILADELPHIA — The Pittsburgh Steelers came here hoping to end a streak that has stretched nearly six decades, one that feels more like a jinx after another defeat at the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers can blame an offense missing its best receiver for netting only 2 yards in a futile...
DB Cory Trice inactive for Steelers vs. Eagles
PHILADELPHIA — Defensive back Cory Trice was the lone healthy player among the Pittsburgh Steelers’ list of inactives for Sunday’s game at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mark Madden’s Hot Take: Steelers’ shorthanded receivers group won’t be enough vs. Eagles
Hurt Hurts, then pick Pickett. That’s my strategy for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game at Philadelphia on Sunday, not least because the absence of top wideout George Pickens will cripple the Steelers’ offense. Wouldn’t it be incredible if Jalen Hurts did get injured, and ex-Steeler Kenny Pickett deputized at quarterback for Philadelphia?...
Steelers activate DT Montravius Adams from IR

Steelers 4 Downs: With Saquon Barkley, Eagles call running plays at near-historic rates
1. Ground and pound The Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles have a shared history that spans nine decades. Perhaps as a tribute Sunday, they will put on a throwback that evokes those famed, World War II-necessitated 1943 combined-roster “Steagles.” Though the 2024 editions of the Steelers and Eagles aren’t exactly...
