| 1/29/26 | Analyst: Steelers Should Target USC WR Makai Lemon In First Round, ‘Ideal Complement’ To DK Metcalf. If there was one thing that plagued the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense in 2025, it was the lack of separation that the receiving corps created. DK Metcalf was consistently double-teamed and taken out of plays, and there wasn’t a hint of explosiveness elsewhere out wide. According to PFF’s Ryan Smith, that’s why USC’s Makai Lemon makes […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2026/01/analyst-steelers... |

| 1/05/26 | Lamar Jackson is a once in a lifetime talent. And the Ravens are still going backwards. John Harbaugh has spent nearly two decades leading Baltimore. But his failure to get the most out of his quarterback is a fireable failing There are losses, and then there are those defeats that show us exactly who a team are. The Steelers’ 26-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday night was the latter. It wasn’t just a loss; it was a referendum. The game was vintage, grubby, beautiful AFC North football. A rivalry game with a playoff place on the line. Big plays. Dumb decisions. Cris Collinsworth making unintelligible noises on commentary. In the final three minutes, four plays swung the win probability by more than 40 percentage points. The Steelers, missing DK Metcalf and Darnell Washington, scored on four of their five second-half drives, three of them touchdowns, with Aaron Rodgers finding Calvin Austin for a 26-yard score with 55 seconds left. Baltimore, by contrast, couldn’t get out of their own way until Lamar Jackson strapped on his cape, completing seven of his final nine passes, throwing two touchdowns and converting a ridiculously clutch fourth-down strike to Isaiah Likely with 21 seconds left and the season on the line.
