I’m guessing no one else had as many receiving yards. He’s a running back but he’s also considered an all-purpose guy.

I don’t see any issue with rewarding him for whatever aspect of his game shines most on game days.

He had 155 receiving yards against Florida State. He was named both ACC Wide Receiver of the Week and ACC Running Back of the Week last year.

Mike Tomlin on the Steelers recent struggles on Thursday Night Football:

"I'm only concerned about 2025. I got my ass kicked in a lot of ways over the last 19 years."

Mike Tomlin on the trade of Joe Flacco from CLE to CIN:

"Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter than me or us, because it doesn't make sense to me, to trade a quarterback that you think enough of to make your opening day starter to a division opponent that's hurting in that area."

Tomlin calls Trey Hendrickson a game-wrecker.

"He's one of the best in the business, he needs no endorsement from me."

Says both Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu better be ready to block him, since Hendrickson will play on either side of the D-line.

Tomlin says they'll see if Calvin Austin III can return on a short week with just one practice day this week.

Tomlin says Miles Killebrew's injury is significant and he is out.

Tomlin says he's looking for a quick bounce back after the Steelers were highly penalized yesterday. The Steelers were penalized ten times for 59 yards after entering yesterday having the fewest penalty yards in the NFL.

Tomlin says he would have liked to have finished drives earlier in the Browns when the Steelers settled for field goals but acknowledges the strength of the Browns defense.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 16h

Mike Tomlin says the Steelers were missing a turnover or two against the Browns. They had several opportunities but never came down with the ball.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 17h

Two straight weeks of every other AFC North team losing combined with a win over a division opponent yesterday, plus the Ravens falling to 1-5, and the Steelers are now the favorites to win the division.

Aaron Rodgers very complimentary of Jalen Ramsey playing today, just two weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury,

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

Tomlin says Nick Herbig is "playing at a pretty high level, that's why I introduced 12 defenders today."

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

Tomlin says the Steelers had a pitch count on Jalen Ramsey today but they still wanted him to be able to make plays. Says he can't say enough about his play.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

Mike Tomlin says safety Miles Killebrew has a "significant knee injury" and he'll have more information at his weekly press conference. Does not sound good for the special teams' captain.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

The Steelers have won 22 straight regular season games against the Browns in Pittsburgh.

Mike Tomlin improves to 27-6 against rookie QBs and 15-4 following the bye week.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

Turnover on downs.

The Steelers extend their lead in the AFC North.

Steelers 4-1
Bengals 2-3
Ravens 1-5
Browns 1-5

The Bengals play the Packers today, with that game kicking off in about five minutes.

Another near INT by the Steelers, this time Joey Porter Jr. can't bring it in. And he's down on the field for the second time this drive.

There have been a number of near-turnovers today, but the Steelers haven't been able to come away with the ball. Feel like that changes at some point and the Steelers get a big takeaway in the remaining time.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 1d

Perfectly placed ball by Rodgers to give the Steelers a three-score lead five seconds into the fourth quarter. Steelers up 23-6 over the Browns.

Darnell Washington is the Steelers second-leading receiver through three quarters. Three catches on five targets for 62 yards.

It took two and half quarters, but someone finally gets in the end zone during Steelers-Browns.
