Ben Roethlisberger playing for the 49ers in 2022 would have been the greatest story ever told
Jason Bridge-USA TODAY Sports It’s not often that a dream story comes along, but Ben Roethlisberger coming out of retirement to help the 49ers win a Super Bowl in 2022 would have been one of them. Sometimes, it’s the Steelers' offseason, and you just don’t feel like writing more things about the NFL Draft. Then, suddenly, like a sign from the football gods above, a nugget falls into your lap and, I don’t know, gives you life. That’s how I felt when former Steelers quarterback Roethlisberger appeared on Mark Madden’s radio show on 105.9 The X on Tuesday for...

Remember when the Steelers had to win a play-in game to qualify for the 2005 divisional round?
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports Postseason expansion is always a part of big-time sports, both professional and collegiate. But just because some team has to play an extra game to advance to the next round, that doesn’t mean it’s not a part of the postseason field. Is my headline clickbait? Did you actually have to go back and Google the Steelers' 2005 campaign (one that was quite magical, btw) to see if they had to play an extra game just to qualify for that divisional-round matchup against the Colts? (The ending of that game was epic, btw.) The Steelers did have...

If you’re a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and follow the team with any kind of closeness in knowing the players who are on the field, you are well aware of the constant carousel of players who have been brought to the team to try to improve the inside linebacker position since the injury to Ryan Shazier in 2017.
