Heyward thinks he can get that elusive ring this year. “I like us versus anybody,” he said. "You can say I'm blowing smoke. But I do.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reeling heading into the playoffs. The Steelers will head on the road for the first round riding a four-game losing streak after falling to Cincinnati 19-17 in the regular-season finale.

Joe Burrow passed for 277 yards and a touchdown, and the Cincinnati Bengals kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 19-17 win over the floundering Pittsburgh Steelers.

Heyward (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Heyward has missed back-to-back practices due to a flu, per Pryor. The veteran edge rusher has limited time remaining to get back to full health before Saturday's road wild-card matchup against the Ravens.

When the Ravens lost their first two games this season, some thought the team didn’t know how to use running back Derrick Henry, who had only 31 carries for 130 yards in those contests. They were wrong.

The Steelers have lost four straight games entering the playoffs, but they’ve been a thorn in the side of the Ravens and Lamar Jackson.

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt hasn't won a playoff game in his NFL career. He's doing everything in his power to change that against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their last injury report before taking on the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round of the playoffs on Saturday night. Offensive lineman Mason McCormick (hand) is questionable and represents the only player on the active roster to earn a game designation.

No news seemingly was good news Wednesday in regards to the statuses of two Pittsburgh Steelers starters for Saturday’s playoff opener. Veteran starting outside cornerback Donte Jackson again was listed as fully practicing and rookie starting right guard as a partial participant for Wednesday’s session,

Jackson owns a 2-4 record in the playoffs, having thrown six interceptions while fumbling six times (losing three) in the postseason. He has thrown for six touchdowns and rushed for three in his playoff career. In other words, production needs to increase and miscues need to decrease.

Zay Flowers’s absence from prop odds has raised even more doubt about his availability against the Steelers in the NFL Wild Card Round this Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell and safety Miles Killebrew earned Players' All-Pro honors for their contributions in 2024.
