Robin Tyler hugged Hines Ward, thanked him and then said she needed her oxygen because she was so excited not just to meet the Steelers wide receiver, but to be served Thanksgiving dinner by him and his teammates.

The Steelers shook up the roster on Tuesday , adding CB Corey Ivy and LB Rocky Boiman while releasing CB Keiwan Ratliff and LB Donovan Woods.

Limas Sweed, I feel your pain. Sweed, the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver benched weeks ago for dropping a pass - OK, a bunch of passes - has my sympathies.

Looking at Sunday's game between the Steelers and Chiefs, one thing stands out more than any - the advantage Pittsburgh holds with their receivers against Kansas City's secondary.

Ben Roethlisberger and Bruce Arians have taken a lot of heat from fans for the Steelers' lack of scoring against the Bengals.

Ben was about 85% good last night.A He threw a bunch of really excellent balls, especially during the second half when the Steelers ran their up-tempo, muddle-huddle.A His ability to move out of the pocket and throw on the run were a huge problem for the Broncos last night.

It was a different Steelers team, at a different point of the season. All of the pieces were in place on offense.

Things have come a little "quicker" than Pittsburgh Steelers rookie receiver Mike Wallace expected.

Eight games into their season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have definitely received two very early Christmas presents in rookie receiver Mike Wallace and second-year back Rashard Mendenhall.

Thoughts on the game that will surely vault the Steelers up Peter King's Fine Fifteen... 1. This game was 7-3 Steelers at halftime, and that was with a Steeler offense that scored zero points and generated 54 yards of offense.

Three defensive starters for the Steelers were scratched for tonight's game against the Denver Broncos: Safety Ryan Clark, defensive end Travis Kirschke and linebacker Lawrence Timmons, all for health reasons.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield was not in uniform for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Rashard Mendenhall made his third consecutive start at running back and rushed for a game-high 62 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in the Steelers ' 27-14 win over the Browns .

Ita s no secret that the NFL is designed to give every team a chance at a Super Bowl title.A The current setup doesna t allow teams to establish dynasties like wea ve seen in years past.A Good teams come and go and bad teams can quickly become contenders.A But for decades, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been consistently competitive.

It's little surprise that Peyton Manning leads the NFL in passing yards. And next in line is ... Tom Brady? Drew Brees? Eli Manning? Brett Favre? Philip Rivers? No, no, no, no and NO.

Willie Parker will play, as expected, today against the Browns but Rashard Mendenhall will start at running back for the Steelers.
