The Steelers are fresh off their first game and first win of the season and are now preparing for their home opener against the division rival Bengals.

While the team has their quick turnaround from dominating Washington to preparing for Cincinnati we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Friday, Sept. 16th.

Hall of Fame Nominees

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the list of Modern Era nominees for the Class of 2017 and former Steelers receiver Hines Ward was among the nominees eligible in his first year. Teresa Varley has the list of all the Steelers teammates eligible for the Class of 2017.

Along with Ward, Pittsburgh’s outside linebackers coach Joey Porter is also nominated in his first year of eligibility. Alan Faneca, who was a finalist last year, joined other previous Pittsburgh players Levon Kirkland and Gary Anderson as nominees. Former coach Bill Cowher is also a nominee.

Will Ward have to wait like Jerome Bettis did for his enshrinement? With two Super Bowl wins and a Super Bowl MVP he might just have a little bit more to tip the scales of voting but we’ll find out when the list gets trimmed to 25 semifinalists in November and then 15 finalists in January before the Class of 2017 is announced during the NFL Honors show the night prior to Super Bowl LI.

Whatcha doing, buddy?

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler checks in on running back Le’Veon Bell during his suspension to see that he is, apparently, the man. Bell is able to attend team meetings and workout at the facility but cannot participate in practice or games while he’s suspended for missing drug tests.

Bell’s latest track, which is obviously going to be straight fire, drops on Friday. Be sure to check that out. He’s also got nothing but praise for teammate DeAngelo Williams, who leads the NFL in rushing after the first week of action.

"“Nobody’s catching him.” – Le’Veon Bell"

No twerking allowed

In case you were wondering, Antonio Brown did draw a fine for violating the NFL’s sacred decency of men colliding into each other head-first in between erectile dysfunction medication commercials.

Brown was fined for the egregious act of sexually suggestively dancing in the endzone in celebration of his second touchdown last Monday night as well as the awful offense of wearing blue cleats.

That monster. What about the children?
