The Official Thread for THE HISTORIC Pittsburgh Steelers

[Gregg]

TJ Watt has 6 sacks in 3 games.

Is that good?

The Historic Bears as team have 1 sack in three games so I am not sure what a sack looks like.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has a bone bruise and a muscle strain in his left knee. The Steelers have a bye in week 6. So, it's a good opportunity for Pickett to get healthy if he sits out week 5.

Or he could just play and throw the game winning pass.

The Steelers won their 700th game as an NFL franchise on Sunday.

The win was the 664th regular season victory in franchise history, to go along with 36 post-season wins.

The Steelers are the fourth franchise to 700 wins, following the Green Bay Packers (828), Chicago Bears (804) and New York Giants (741). All three of those teams are older than the Steelers. The Bears were founded in 1920, the Packers in 1921 and the Giants in 1925, before the Steelers came along in 1933.

Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt suffered a severe finger dislocation and multiple torn ligaments in that finger but kept playing anyway against the Baltimore Ravens. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reportsthat the injury will not cause Watt to miss any time and that he popped it back into place on the sideline and went back into the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin noted that Watt had a finger injury following the team’s win, but the injury will not stop Watt from continuing his reign of terror. The injury could require surgery following the season, but he will go through it.

That injury happened in the first quarter when Watt came off the field following a play. However, he went on to get two sacks, including the game-clinching sack.

The Steelers have announced that Jaylen Warren will be the team’s starting running back.

Warren said head coach Mike Tomlin told him he would take over as the Steelers’ backfield starter ahead of the team’s Week 10 game against the Packers.

Warren had 15 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown against the Packers while Najee Harris had 16 carries for 82 yards and a touchdown.

The Steelers mercifully fire OC Matt Canada

It's about damn time!

Head coach Mike Tomlin is expected to name running backs coach Eddie Faulkner as offensive coordinator, while quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan handles play-calling duties. They can't be any worse than Canada.

I knew something was up when they took Matt Canada out of the booth the last couple of games and had him on the sideline instead.

And also.....zero 3-and-out drives for the Steelers on Sunday. It's probably been a few years since that happened.

Now they just have to work on those low point totals.

Kenny Pickett had his most productive game of the year in week 13 with 278 yards passing. He had been averaging 156 yards per game in the Canada offense along with a measly 6 passing TDs in 11 (now 12) games. He has also limited the interceptions to the 4 he had in the first 4 games. I think we're going to see some 300 yard games from Pickett down the stretch along with some higher point totals. Putting more points on the board should also make their great defense even better.
