“I just wanted to be out there with my teammates. I didn’t want to let them down. I wanted to let them know I can still give everything that I have. I am not trying to prove anything to the outside world. I just wanted to keep playing the game that I love, with the teammates that I love for the fans that I love. That has been what’s most important in my mind.” — Ben.

From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:

If you looked at the NFL rankings only, and saw the Steelers were ranked 24th overall in passing, ninth in the run game and 21st in total offense, you might stop and wonder how they are 5-0.

But if you watch them play, see what the offense is doing on a weekly basis, you get it.

This is an offense that has a lot of firepower on it, and while they aren’t putting up huge numbers, they are putting up the numbers they need to in order to be one of only two undefeated teams in the AFC, the other being this week’s opponent, the Tennessee Titans.

“It gives us balance. That is what we want to be,” said quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. “You read into any of the fans and media stuff in the offseason, we need to be more balanced, we need to run the ball. That is what we are doing.

“We are a balanced offense. We are not putting up gawdy passing numbers right now because we haven’t needed to. I would like to think if we needed to, we could do that because we have some amazing pass catchers who can do great things with the ball in their hands. What we have been able to do right now is win football games and that is what’s most important.”

Roethlisberger’s numbers this season aren’t the best of his career with 114 completions for 1,178 yards and 11 touchdowns through five games. But he is doing things right, pushing the right buttons, playing smart football and has only one interception and managing the game the way he needs to.

“I feel like that is what I have been doing the last five weeks, trying to get us in the best play I can,” said Roethlisberger. “Trying not to turn the ball over and do […]

Time for a fun re-cap!

From KDKA-CBS:

Not yet Cleveland. At least, not in Pittsburgh.

James Conner ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and the Steelers battered the Browns in a 38-7 blowout victory on Sunday to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 1978. Ben Roethlisberger added 162 yards passing and a score.

Pittsburgh emphatically ended Cleveland’s four-game winning streak and extended the Browns’ skid at Heinz Field to 17 and counting.

The Browns (4-2) were unable to get anything going against a defense that sacked aching Baker Mayfield four times, picked him off twice and chased him late in the third quarter with the game out of reach. The NFL’s top rushing offense managed 75 yards on the ground — 113 below its season average — as the Steelers dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage in easily their best performance in 2020.

Steelers begin a three-game road swing on Sunday when they visit the Titans. The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 4 before being moved while Tennessee dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak.

The Steelers’ 13-game regular-season home winning streak when facing a starting QB drafted No. 1 overall is the longest streak in NFL history. — Missi Matthews via Twitter.

Ref: Romo thinks [Claypool] got in.

Ben: Oh, it's in. Good job, Tony. Tony finally made a good call…Just joking, Antonio.

Meet our beautiful October model for a very special ‘Awareness Month’:


“My daughter Chloe has achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. Sunday, October 25th is Dwarfism Awareness Day (all month is Awareness Month) so I was hoping maybe you could highlight her in all her Steeler glory!! My goal is to raise awareness and “normalize” dwarfism, and what better way to do that than with an adorable baby rocking her Steelers gear!!” — Melissa Hess.
