It's got letdown game written all over it. Even if the Steelers win, it will no doubt bring back the pain of a tough and rare AFC North loss to Cincinnati. PZB is going to demonstrate why this isn't a trap game...

Like they've done the previous two weeks, Pittsburgh roared out of the gates in the 1st half. Only this week, the Steelers offense capitalized on their early success and marched in for touchdowns rather than settling for field goals....

Pittsburgh Steelers center Justin Hartwig has signed a four-year contract today, two days before the season opener against Tennessee.

Hartwig enters his second season as the Steelers' center and eighth in the NFL. He has started 79...

by JJ Cooper Filed under: Steelers , AFC North , NFL Free Agency Unlike most teams, the Steelers have a somewhat hard and fast rule that they don't negotiate contract extensions during the season.

I thought for quite some time that Keisel would be one of the prominent mainstay veterans that wouldn't be retained for the 2010 season and beyond. Instead of Keisel, I thought it was more likely...
