🏈 Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden broke down the key matchups in Saturday’s AFC North showdown between the Steelers-Ravens matchup.

🏈 Due to losing a bet with Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker over the Steelers-Eagles game, Sen. John Fetterman wore a Philadelphia Eagles hat and held a sign that said Wawa is better than Sheetz.

🏈 Hard Knocks revealed that Russell Wilson does pool workouts at Pitt’s Trees Hall.

🏈 Hard Knocks also showcased that an official told Mike Tomlin no Eagles were penalized for punching Darnell Washington because Darius Slay Jr. was “knocking his hands off him.” A video captured by a fan in the stands suggests otherwise. Slay clearly got a punch in on Washington.

🏈 The Steelers have a 35.7% success rate on passing plays without George Pickens on the field (last in the NFL) compared to a 42.7% rate with him on the field (17th).

🏈 Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has never played in front of a full M&T Bank stadium vs. Pittsburgh, and has never started both games against the Steelers in his career. The lone game that he played at home against Pittsburgh came during the COVID year in 2020, when the NFL only allowed limited spectators.

🏈 Pat Freiermuth’s 9-yard touchdown reception against the Eagles was his third consecutive game with a TD catch. He’s the first Steelers TE to accomplish this since Heath Miller did it in 2012.
