Can We Get A COMON?
By Joe Smeltzer “I want to send a message. A message to everyone who ever made fun of Cleveland. A message to anyone who ever told a Cleveland joke or laughed at a Cleveland joke. You can now officially shut up! – Drew Carey, Sept. 12, 1999 It took 21 years, but Carey is finally right. The Steelers couldn’t win

By COMON Network Team Final Score – Cleveland Browns 48 def. Pittsburgh Steelers 37 The start of the 2020 Playoffs couldn’t have been much worse for the Steelers.

By Joe Smeltzer It’s always been a rivalry, I suppose. Not in the same way that Athens and Sparta were rivals, or the Montagues and the Capulets were rivals. No, Steelers-Browns games over the past 30 years have usually borne a more striking resemblance to what a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Dolly Parton would look like, or a

By COMON Network Team Final Score – Cleveland Browns (11-5) 24 def. Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) 22 The Pittsburgh Steelers traveled to Cleveland sans Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Heyward, TJ Watt, Chris Boswell, Terrell Edmunds and Maurkice Pouncey, and also were without the services of Joe Haden due to a COVID situation that came about Saturday.

By Jack Hillgrove Ah, yes. 2020. Perhaps the most cliché year of our lifetimes if there is such a thing. Every once in a while I’ll come across the Match.com commercial where Satan meets up with a woman named “2020,” and I can’t help but laugh.

By COMON Network Team Final Score – Pittsburgh Steelers (12-3) 28 def. Indianapolis Colts (10-5) 24 The Pittsburgh Steelers trailed 21-7 at halftime, and came back to win 28-24 and clinch the AFC North title Sunday at Heinz Field.

By Joe Smeltzer I don’t know when it started. But at some point, every Steelers fan from here to Prague decided that whatever happened in 2020 would lead into a heavyweight clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Fans, even of the same team, disagree on many things. One thing everybody in this city has in common is a minor obsession

Pittsburgh Steelers (11-2) 15 After starting 11-0, the Pittsburgh Steelers have dropped two-straight games as they lost tonight to the Buffalo Bills 26-15, falling to 11-2 despite clinching a playoff spot earlier in the day by virtue of Miami’s loss to Kansas City. The Steelers drew first blood following

By Kyle Dawson The Steelers run game hit rock bottom in the team’s loss to the Washington Football Team. I have no idea how it can get worse. Pittsburgh combined for 21 yards on 14 attempts on the ground, and wasn’t great overall offensively in its first loss of the season. Over the last month and a half, give or
