Orlovsky Wants Steelers’ Passing Game To Be More Aggressive Against Texans: ‘You Have To Take Shots’. With an aging quarterback and some questions along the offensive line coming into the season, the Steelers prioritized the quick passing game to start the year. Although the line has played well and improved throughout the season, we haven’t really seen Pittsburgh change that strategy too often. But against the Houston Texans Monday night, the […]

Aaron Rodgers (QB - NYJ)

1/6/26 1:16 PM -
Former Steelers View Cam Heyward’s ‘Special Career’ With ‘Great Pride,’ Says Tomlin. While 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ oldest player, Cam Heyward isn’t so far behind him. Heyward is 36, and he’ll turn 37 in early May, but he’s still playing at a high level. It’s rare for a defensive lineman to continue looking so elite at this age. Heyward has been with the Steelers […]

Lamar Jackson (QB - BAL)

1/6/26 1:11 PM -
Mike Tomlin Has No Regrets Over Aggressive Plan Against Lamar Jackson. Facing Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and a potent Baltimore Ravens run game made the Pittsburgh Steelers sell out to stop the ground game. In many ways, they achieved that mission. The cost of that was giving up big plays in the passing game to the tune of three explosive scores. If the Steelers and Ravens […]

Miami Dolphins (DEF - MIA)

Tua Tagovailoa ready to leave Miami?.
QB would be "good" with a fresh start
Asked if he is hoping for a “fresh start,” Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa said, “That would be dope. I would be good with it.” (Palm Beach Post - Joe Schad)
FF Today's Take: On one hand, Tagovailoa is a player who led the league in passing in 2023 and completion percentage in 2024, so it is not as if he is a bum. On the other hand, he is coming off arguably the worst of his six seasons in the league and has benefited greatly from HC Mike McDaniel's offense over the years. Tagovailoa is not getting cut anytime soon - a release in 2026 would result in a dead money charge of almost $100 million - so it would be in his (and Miami's) best interest to continue the marriage for at least one more year. Still, it says a lot that Tagovailoa did not even try to dodge the question.Source:
