  Steelers Camp — Sep 3: Elliott Out Four, Injury Unnamed

  Pittsburgh made no waiver claim on Monday and added nobody to its 53. The week's work was a practice squad that reached seventeen by Wednesday and brought eleven of Sunday's fifteen waived players straight back, a safety room that put DeShon Elliott's return at Week 5 with the injury still unconfirmed and a veteran visitor who left unsigned, and Joey Porter Jr., off the physically-unable-to-perform list and ramping up in walkthroughs, answering a Week 1 question with "I gotta go talk to my agents about that."

  Steelers Camp — Aug 31: Jones to Dallas, and All Four Quarterbacks Stay

  Pittsburgh's cutdown weekend included two trades — Broderick Jones to the Cowboys and Kaleb Johnson to the Packers — and a 53 that kept all four quarterbacks, answering the question our last episode left for cut day to referee. DeShon Elliott went from his comeback game to injured reserve with a return designation, Joey Porter Jr. came off the physically-unable-to-perform list with his contract still unresolved, and Aaron Rodgers finished the preseason without taking a snap.

  Steelers Camp — Aug 23: Howard Throws His Way Onto the Bubble

  Will Howard started against the Jets, threw two interceptions in plus territory in a 17-to-nothing home shutout, and spent the weekend being called the odd man out in a four-man quarterback room — while one report says the team has already decided to keep him. Metcalf says he's fine, Pittman's hamstring is called minor, and Rodgers still hasn't thrown a preseason pass.

  Pittsburgh Steelers Camp Update — August 16: Rodgers Sat Because Metcalf and Pittman Couldn't Go

  Rodgers watched the 28-9 win over Green Bay in a ballcap because both of his top receivers were in street clothes — the live-rush test we circled got scratched. Metcalf and Pittman are hard-pressed to work this week with Week 1 four weeks out, while the backup quarterbacks went a combined 27-of-33.

  Pittsburgh Steelers Camp Update — August 9: Aaron Rodgers' First Throw Saturday Night Was a Pick-Six

  Seven charted practices without an interception, then a first-snap pick-six under the lights — Rodgers' camp contains both halves of the July question in miniature. Metcalf is catching everything, the backfield committee is real, and Will Howard is making the backup job interesting.

  Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 Season Preview — The Luck Left With Tomlin

  Pittsburgh won the AFC North on one-score wins and turnovers — the two least repeatable stats in football — then lost the coach who made that formula a lifestyle; the McCarthy-Rodgers reunion inherits the regression bill.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns but was sacked five times and intercepted twice, and the defense allowed plus 9.2 expected points on 35 Cleveland pass plays.

  Steelers 30, Bengals 27 — Week 3: Thirty Points a Week After Three

  Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 30-27 at home, sealed by a strip sack at its own 38 with 53 seconds left, one week after scoring 3 points in New England — three touchdown passes, 7 of 12 on third down and no three-and-outs, while its pass defense allowed plus 14.7 expected points.

• Week 2Sep 21, 2026

  Steelers 3, Patriots 20 — Week 2: Four Sacks and Three Points

  Pittsburgh lost 20-3 at New England after its passing game gave back 21.8 expected points on 44 pass plays, almost all of it on four sacks and an interception, converted two of twelve third downs, and turned first and goal at the four into a thirteen-yard sack and a pick.

• Week 1Sep 13, 2026

  Steelers 20, Falcons 13 — Week 1: Watt's Pick-Six and Ten Third-Down Stops

  Pittsburgh's offense had the lowest success rate of the sixteen teams in Sunday's early games — thirty-three percent, three of twelve on third down, sixty-one rushing yards — and the Steelers won at home anyway, because the defense allowed a thirty-one percent success rate through the air, stopped ten of twelve third downs, sacked Cooper Rush four times, and T.J. Watt returned an interception thirty-five yards for the touchdown that decided it.

  Steelers, Week 3 — What Repeats: The Packed Box Disappeared

  A week after showing a light box on 12.5 percent of designed runs, second-lowest in the league, Pittsburgh showed six or fewer on 12 of Cincinnati's 16, 75 percent and fifth-highest; it allowed Joe Burrow an 86 percent catchable rate, tied for second-highest allowed of 32, while Aaron Rodgers went 6 of 8 for 128 yards on play-action and the run game led the league at 6.4 yards per designed run.

• Week 2 · What RepeatsSep 24, 2026

  Steelers, Week 2 — What Repeats: The Rush Plan Flipped

  A week after sending five or more rushers on 2 of 26 dropbacks, the lowest rate in the league, Pittsburgh sent five or more on 11 of New England's 27 (41 percent, 11th of 32); on offense Aaron Rodgers has now gone 79 throws over two games without an interception-worthy ball while his catchable rate sat well under his 2025 figure both weeks.

• Week 1 · What RepeatsSep 16, 2026

  Steelers, Week 1 — What Repeats: Five or More Rushers Twice

  Pittsburgh sent five or more rushers on 2 of Cooper Rush's 26 dropbacks — the lowest rate in the league in Week 1, against 31 percent across 2025 — and still produced 4 sacks and 2 interceptions, while showing a light box on only 9 of Atlanta's 31 designed runs; on offense Aaron Rodgers was charted 62.5 percent catchable (27th as a team) with zero interception-worthy throws, and 18 designed runs gained 61 yards against a light box on 12 of them.
