1+ hour, 6+ min ago (489+ words) The Pittsburgh Steelers had a disastrous performance Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Buffalo Bills, turning a 7-3 halftime lead into an ugly 26-7 loss, dropping them to .500 on the season. Though the defense was gashed in the run game, the frustrations largely lie with the offense, which once again couldn't do anything, and two turnovers early in the second half changed the game entirely. For starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, some of those issues offensively can be attested to what he described as a poor week of practice, particularly on Thursday, for the Steelers. Speaking with reporters after the loss to the Bills, Rodgers elaborated on that poor week of preparation. "So we gotta practice in the elements better and the execution again, just wasn't where it was." " Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 1, 2025 Rodgers, after not playing in Week 12 on the road against…...

1+ hour, 11+ min ago (241+ words) We just need to look within," Watt said after the Steelers" 26-7 loss via the team"s YouTube channel. We talk about the talent that we have, we talk about everything that we have, but right now, we don"t have a kick-ass defensive group. And that"s all that I can speak on." Watt isn"t wrong. Week 13 wasn"t the first time that the Steelers" defense got punched in the mouth. That group hasn"t been good enough all season. It was ranked 28th in the league going into Week 13. After allowing 372 total yards to the Bills, the Steelers" defense likely isn"t going to go up in those rankings. That"s the biggest disappointment for the Steelers this season. Yes, their offense hasn"t been much better. That group made a lot of changes, but it"s still anemic....

1+ hour, 15+ min ago (275+ words) Ugly as the Pittsburgh Steelers" Sunday evening loss was, and as rightfully frustrated as the fan base is, quarterback Aaron Rodgers kept a level head during his post-game press conference while also fully backing Mike Tomlin. "I know what you"re trying to ask and I"m not gonna go down that road at all," Rodgers told reporters via the team"s YouTube channel after a long pause before answering. "I believe in the coaching staff. I believe in Mike Tomlin. That"s why I came here. And players need to take accountability, myself included, and I will continue to. I gotta play better." After signing with Pittsburgh in June, Rodgers repeatedly cited Tomlin as the driving reason why he signed with the Steelers. The two talked weekly in the three-month wait for Rodgers to officially ink a one-year deal…...

1+ hour, 16+ min ago (307+ words) Not much can be said about the Pittsburgh Steelers" ugliest loss of the season. Not even Mike Tomlin, who usually has a way with words, could talk his way out of this one. The first half was a defensive field position battle that the Steelers won with timely turnovers and solid play in the red zone. But even with a 7-3 lead at halftime with the ball coming back to them after the break, it felt like they were hanging on for dear life. For the fourth time in six losses, the Steelers were leading at halftime and lost the game. They surrendered their hard-fought lead in record time with an Aaron Rodgers sack and fumble for a Bills touchdown. It felt like the dam broke on that play, and the Bills went for the throat with two touchdowns in a…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (329+ words) In one of the ugliest games of Mike Tomlin's tenure, which dropped the Pittsburgh Steelers to 6-6, a chorus of boos and "Fire Tomlin" chants replaced first quarter cheers at Acrisure Stadium Sunday evening. Following the team's 26-7 loss, Tomlin was asked to respond to the fan's chant. "I share their frustration tonight, man," Tomlin said via the team's YouTube channel. "We didn't do enough. And that's just reality of it." That frustration was well-earned. Pittsburgh lost in all three phases of the game. Offensively, the team posted just seven points on 43 total plays, 166 yards of offense, and barely more than 18 minutes of possession. A running game that had been improving found minimal success while the Steelers were unable to make any plays through the air. Defensively was just as bad if not worse. Buffalo rushed for 249 yards as the combination of…...

1+ hour, 51+ min ago (430+ words) Not only were the Pittsburgh Steelers blown out at home by the Buffalo Bills 26-7, sending them to 6-6 on the season, they suffered multiple injuries during the game. Speaking to reporters post-game, Tomlin offered a Steelers injury roundup. "Pat Queen had a contusion," Tomlin said via the team's YouTube channel. "He wasn't able to run so he wasn't allowed to come back in. James Pierre is in the concussion protocol." Tomlin did not mention QB Aaron Rodgers' injury. He'was slow getting up after a strip/sack fumble to begin the second half. He also appeared to have a bloodied nose that was taped up. He returned after missing one series, one that ended in a Mason Rudolph interception. Rudolph finished the game on the final drive. Rodgers went 10-of-21 for 117 yards and zero touchdowns. He was sacked once. Pre-game reports noted…...

2+ hour, 8+ min ago (815+ words) Winners and losers from the Pittsburgh Steelers" 26-7 loss against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Herbig was about the only Steeler able to consistently defend the run Sunday. Cam Heyward did a good job twice spilling runs wide and Herbig set the edge to clean things up. The latter of which resulted in a lost fumble by RB James Cook III as the Steelers" defense hung tough in the first half. Echols came to play today. He made two big plays on third down. First, picking off a pass over the middle, reading QB Josh Allen"s eyes the whole way. Soon after, he broke up a slant over the middle to lead to another Buffalo punt. Aside from the Los Angeles Chargers game, Echols has been a quality player all season and a shrewd offseason signing. Abysmal today. A team-wide…...

2+ hour, 29+ min ago (427+ words) Things were going relatively well in the first half for the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Buffalo Bills. And then the third quarter happened. In the blink of an eye it went from a 7-3 lead at the break into a 23-7 game in favor of the Bills, leading to boos raining down on the North Shore from fans in the midst of a rather pathetic Steelers performance. " NFL on CBS " (@NFLonCBS) November 30, 2025 Those boos rained down after the Steelers ran the football on 3rd and 9 with Kenneth Gainwell down 16-7 and then punted on 4th and 1, all but signaling that they had given up. That decision, and the frustration with the performance in the first few minutes of the second half, even had Steelers Santa booing, too.
