When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals faced off in Super Bowl XLIII it was a David versus Goliath story. The Steelers had five Super Bowls entering the game and are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history, while the Cardinals had never been to a Super Bowl and were mostly known for their mediocrity.

NFL teams rarely draft a specialist in the first round of the NFL Draft. Names like P Ray Guy or K Sebastian Janikowski are examples of specialists picked in round one, but another one is Pittsburgh Steelers WR Louis Lipps, according to Lipps himself. How could that be? He's a receiver. Well, Lipps believes he was drafted by the Steelers in the first round of the 1984 NFL Draft at No. 23 overall due to his kick and punt return abilities.

Earlier this week, former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark said that while head coach Mike Tomlin is "unfireable," he should leave Pittsburgh because his voice has grown stale. Although a breakup between Tomlin and the Steelers is unlikely, Colin Cowherd took exception to Clark's claim that Tomlin is "unfireable." "I've always found this fascinating, Andy Reid and Bill Belichick got fired, but apparently Mike Tomlin is unfireable," said Cowherd on The Herd the other day.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Ohio State quarterback Will Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft, they added a seasoned quarterback. Howard played five years of college football, experiencing different highs and lows. He thinks these highs and lows have seasoned him for the NFL and he’s ready to make that next step. “I think I learned a lot throughout my college career,” Howard said in a transcript provided by the Steelers. “I’ve been through a lot of different situations.
