It was 12/28/2014 and the Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular-season finale to clinch the AFC North division title. The Steelers have won four game this season without this combination on the field together but hopefully with them back it will mean even more good things for the team.

40 years of the Terrible Towel

Here’s the story of how it all began.

Problems against tight ends

Chris Adamski of the Trib examined the stats to see if the Steelers’ problems when facing some of the NFL’s premier tight ends is a big of a problem as it looks to be. Based on the stats he complied it looks like the Steelers’ troubles against these tight ends like Rob Gronkowski, Vernon Davis, Antonio Gates and Travis Kelce caught sometimes only slightly more than their average numbers against the Steelers.

The three touchdowns Gronkowski caught against the Steelers were obviously the biggest glaring issue but it’s pretty clear that with the Patriots it’s a pick-your-poison scenario going up against their offense. Hopefully this means the Steelers can control the Bengals’ Tyler Eifert.
