Steelers and Chiefs to do battle this Sunday

Chiefs confident they will punish Roethlisberger

The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in an AFC Divisional Battle that will be one of the best tickets to have this post season.

The Chiefs main plan is to pressure Roethlisberger hard the entire game.  The Chiefs also hope that Justin Houston will be back to terrorize.

“We have a lot of respect for Justin Houston,” Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin said, “but we also have a lot for Dee Ford and Tamba Hali. Those edge players for them, regardless of who’s in the game, are a challenge for us.”

“But the ability to make that quarterback move in the pocket has been huge for us,” Chiefs Coach Andy Reid argued. “They feel that heat, and they’re either moving backwards or sideways and they can’t get their feet set, so that can be as an important as a sack. But the important thing is you’re getting more pressure, and you don’t let them throw from a set platform.”

The Steelers beat the Miami Dolphins 30-12 in the Wild Card playoff round last week but QB Ben Roethlisberger came out of the game with an ankle injury that will surely hamper his movements on the field.  As of Wednesday, he was still suffering soreness but coach Tomlin still has full confidence in he QB.

“We’ll watch him closely as we push forward to the game, but not anticipating that limiting him,” Tomlin said. “I don’t imagine his foot circumstance changing our approach [to preparation].”

Steelers welcome G-Men to Heinz Field

A win needed to keep playoff hopes alive.

When you think of the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5, 2nd AFC North), you think smothering defense but this season, the Steelers have had their problems with opposing teams air games.  To date, the Steelers are giving up 263.9 yards passing and just over 100 yards on the ground, giving up 20.2 points per game.

Defending Odell Beckham will be key.

“They’ve won six in a row, so there hasn’t been a lot of success steelers-3lately,” cornerback Ross Cockrell said of Beckham. “We just have to do whatever it takes to win the ballgame, whether that’s turnovers, whether it’s disruption, whether that’s blitzing off the edge and trying to get to the quarterback.  We’re going to try to change it up and show them some different things.”

This will be only the 4th time in the two teams history they will meet in Pittsburgh.  The last time the New York Giants (8-3, 2nd NFC East) visited the Steel City was in October 2008 where they walked away with a 21-14 victory.

Eagles visit Heinz Field

Roethlisberger will not play for 2nd week

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost week one of the 2016 preseason 30-17 against the Detroit Lions at home.  Now come the revamped Philadelphia Eagles now led by Head Coach Doug Pederson.   The Eagles beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-9 in week of of preseason action.

The team announced the Ben Roethlisberger will not play for the second week in a row in an attempt to keep the aging veteran insulated for a while longer.

“I know what Ben is capable of,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “He showed up in tremendous condition. He’s performed well. He’s obviously a veteran. What’s required for him to be ready to play might be different than others.”

The Steelers expect to see a bit more of Sam Bradford this week than what he played against the Bucs.  Bradford has been touted as much further ahead than he was at this point steelers 2in the preseason last year.  He only received three snaps last week so expect to see more of him as well as Steelers rookie LB Javon Hargrave chasing after him.  Hargrave has earned high praise from Head Coach Mike Tomlin.

“His pedigree routinely flashes,” Tomlin said. “He’s a talented guy, yes.”

Kickoff is at eight and plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to grab yours now and be a part of the action!

Steelers survive Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals self-imploded Saturday as emotions ran high for the entirety of the game.  In the end, it was the name you hear nearly every weekend, and not in a good way.  Vontaze Burfect was once again shown to be one of the most undisciplined players in the league even after you know Head Coach Marvin Lewis warned him to keep his head.

It began with a vicious Burfect head shot to receiver Antonio Brown after an incomplete pass.  the hit left Brown on the turf and possibly unconscious for a few seconds.  The ensuing penality sent CB Adam “Pac Man” Jones into a frenzy that culminated in Jones pushing the referee into throwing another flag.  15 yards later, the Steelers kick the ball for an 18-16 win.

“We won the game, that’s all that matters,” QB Ben Roethlisberger said.

The Steelers must now prepare for a trip to Mile High Stadium, where they take on the Denver Broncos in an AFC Divisional match up.  Roethlisberger is currently listed as day to day after taking a brutal hit from Burfect at the end of the third quarter.  Big Ben was reinserted into the game with a minute and change remaining in the game.

“You’ve got to salute the man,” Steelers guard Ramon Foster said Saturday night. “He’s a guy that’s proven to be a winner.”

Steelers Organization celebrate 82nd year

On this day in 1933, the Pittsburgh Pirates were formed by Art Rooney and today are tied as the 7th oldest club in the NFL behind the Chicago Bears, the Cardinals (both St. Louis & Arizona), the Detroit Lions (also the Portsmouth Spartans), the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and the (Boston) Washington Redskins.

The organization would spend decades as an irrelevant organization and it was not until the 1970’s that the club came into prominence behind Chuck Knoll and Quarterback Terry Bradshaw, now a Fox NFL analyst, winning their first Superbowl in 1974.

The Steelers will open the preseason with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio against the Minnesota Vikings.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so be sure to get yours today before they are all gone! 

Jets upset Steelers

The New York Jets welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers to MetLife Stadium hoping to keep up with the then 6-3 Steelers.  By the end of the first quarter, the Jets held a 17-0 advantage.  The Jets defense did the rest of the heavy lifting holding the Steelers to three points in the first half and 10 in the second.  The Jets managed another field goal to end the game 13-20.

“There’s nothing mystical about the outcome of that football game,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “We talked all week about why that team struggled: because they were minus in the turnover ratio. … Well, they weren’t today. They were plus-4.  You’re going to lose football games when you’re minus-4 in the turnover ratio, and we did today.”

The Steelers will take the week to regroup and hope to bounce back against the (2-7) Tennessee Titans.  Plenty of great seats and affordable tickets are still available so get yours now!

Steelers interested in TE Finley

The demise of Jermichael Finley’s football playing days may just have been a bit exaggerated as the 27 year old Tight End attempts to come back from a bruised spinal cord injury he received in week 7 of the 2013 season against the Cleveland Browns.

“Pittsburgh have showed me a couple deals, but we all know the money ain’t what it’s supposed to be,” Finley said Monday. “If I quit the game right now, I can take tax-free money, and that’s a difficult thing that I’m going through with myself …”

The ‘tax-free’ money Finley referred to is a $10 million insurance policy he would be able cash in if he were to never take another snap.

The Steelers open the preseason on the road against the NFC new York Giants on Saturday August 9th.  Plenty of Great Seats and cheap tickets remain so be sure to get yours now!
