Just when the Steelers look to be at their worst, they pull off a game like this and beat a team they aren't supposed to beat. Doing this to the Colts is part of the usual script.

I hope all the Dodgers fans that constantly hate on Dave Roberts realize he's accomplished more than any Dodgers manager ever and has a resume that's up there with some of the greatest managers in history. He's going to walk into Cooperstown.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Toronto Blue Jays payroll is $255 million. Toronto is not a small market and the 2025 Blue Jays have MLB's fifth highest payroll.

Two teams that could provide Kirk Cousins the opportunity he's searching for It's been a couple of seasons since Kirk Cousins played at a Pro Bowl level, but he still believes he can get there again. The question now becomes if he will he be granted a chance to prove himself.

Like others, I am hearing there's mutual interest between James Franklin and Virginia Tech. I think he should stay away from that job though.

I am also hearing he'd be more interested in Florida State if it opens, which is a much better job.

Nuggets star center Nikola Jokic matches NBA legend with monster game Jokic's statistical marvel of a game has only been duplicated by one other player, a legend in his own right, since field goal percentage was first tracked in 1956-57.

It should be against the law to move trick-or-treat off Halloween night for any reason.

I don’t care what the weather is going to be like. I don’t care what day of the week Halloween falls on.

The Steelers always go through this BS and will end up winning enough the rest of the way, especially since God pretty much also intends it that the Steeles and Ravens split their matchups. Ravens are far from a lock win each week even with Larmar. Their defense is also a shell of what it once was.

Ravens are in too much of a hole. They aren’t winning enough to make up for it with or without Lamar.

As much as the criticism of Mike Tomlin is valid and the questions about his future are legitimate, we all also know how this movie ends. The Steelers are still going to end up winning the division and that’s going to be more than enough for Tomlin to return as long as he wants to keep going.

"I think it's fairly obvious they (the Steelers) could use a little help at wide receiver."

Yes, that's correct.

The Steelers defense has never been good enough this season. It masked issues with turnovers for a while, but has been a disappointment all season based on the offseason makeover.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t mind the Steelers 1933 throwback uniform. It’s not like they are making them the new every week set. People shouldn’t be as upset as some are over them.

The Bengals following a win over the Steerers with a loss to the freaking Jets just perfectly fits into the script that the Steelers will have the division locked up in no time.
