? ALCO Parking Corporation is cracking down on large Steelers tailgating parties on the North Shore. ALCO states that it’s for safety reasons.

Kevin Adams, who runs the Terrible Tailgate, thinks ALCO’s decision is over money more than safety.

“There are several other larger tailgates on the North Shore getting shut down basically because the parking situation in Pittsburgh is a monopoly…,” Adams told Colin Dunlap of KDKA Radio.

? The Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed the fewest catches (64) and yards (732) among NFL defenses on throws over the middle, per Sports Info Solutions. All-Pro free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has been the X-Factor in limiting throws over the middle.

? Russell Wilson has completed 53.3% of his passes on 20+ yard throws this season, according to Pro Football Focus. He is first among QBs with 15+ such throws.

? Kurt Angle and Kyle Brandt will be featured in a pregame segment on CBS prior to the Steelers-Ravens game. Angle, who is Pittsburgh native, is in a Steelers singlet, while Brandt is in Ravens gear.

“This rivalry match will take place Sunday Pre-game for @steelers vs @Ravens on @CBSSports- Find out who wins!!” Angle wrote on X.

? Ravens All-Pro strong safety Kyle Hamilton returned to practice on Thursday.

? Sunday will be the 36th meeting – including playoffs – between Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh. Those 35 prior games have seen 18 games decided by 3 points or less, 27 games decided by 7 points or less and an average margin of victory of 6.77 points, according to Daniel Valente of The Score.
