Both are Ohio natives and golf enthusiasts. But when Ben Roethlisberger paid a visit to Dick LeBeau Wednesday morning, the Steelers quarterback had business on his mind. Roethlisberger will lead the Steelers offense against an Arizona defense that is coordinated by Ray Horton. Horton coached the Steelers’ secondary from 2004-10 and is in his first [...]

Mark Kaboly takes a look back at the Steelers 17-13 win over Jacksonville.

A phone call that Troy Polamalu made Sunday afternoon could prove costly. An NFL spokesman said today that the All-Pro safety could be fined for violating league rules by using a cell phone during the Steelers’ 17-13 win against Jacksonville.

One streak will depend on another Sunday when Jacksonville visits Heinz Field. The Jaguars come into the 1 p.m. game an odd combination of heavy underdog and Steelers nemesis.

No James Harrison, no Casey Hampton, no Aaron Smith and Rashard Mendenhall only in the event of an emergency. Ben Roethlisberger will play on a sprained left foot, and he will operate behind the fifth different offensive line combination in as many games. The Titans have already beaten the Ravens, they lead the NFL in [...]
