Steelers offense still a work-in-progress after 26-9 romp over the Vikings
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense remains a work-in-progress, yet they are still undefeated. Ugly wins are trending right now in the NFL. Don’t buy that? Well Sunday’s 26-9 Steelers win over the Minnesota Vikings might be considered ugly, in terms of the end result. Hours before the game, Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford, who came off a career game the prior week at home vs. New Orleans, was placed on the inactive list due to an injury of his left knee. That meant Case Keenum was thrown into battle, hurting the Vikes plans, and it showed as the norsemen could only muster 2 scoring...

Blazing the path to 2-0 will require a more balanced performance between the Steelers’ offense and defense.

By contrast to Pittsburgh’s Week 1 opponent, the Cleveland Browns, the Vikings are a team with a realistic shot to defeat any NFL team on any given Sunday, Thursday or Monday. In view of what we saw (or...

Sam Bradford’s Knee Issue Is Nothing New
Be optimistic he will play Sunday, but don’t be surprised he has knee issues As you know by now Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford is listed as questionable for Sundays game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Many fans are panicking at the thought of losing Bradford, especially after last week’s incredible performance against the Saints. But we’re not surprised he is having knee issues, right?

In fact, he was one of the odds-on favorites to win the coveted title of “Mr. Mankato” heading into Training Camp last month. However, Hodges didn’t really...
