? Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown claims on X through his CTESPN Network account that he’s filed for bankruptcy.
? Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks the delayed division games might work to the Steelers’ benefit.
“Pretty much every team can fashion a complaint when it comes to their schedule. One of the biggest complaints arising from the Steelers’ schedule is that it includes no division games until Week 11. That might not be a bad thing, for a couple of reasons,” Florio wrote.
“First, the other quarterbacks in the division are very good, when healthy. They each, however, have a history of serious injury. The later in the year the Bengals, Browns, and Ravens appear on the schedule, the greater the chance one of more of them won’t have their starting quarterbacks. (We’re not trying to jinx anyone. We’re just stating facts.)
“Second, with an entirely new depth chart at the quarterback position and a brand-new offense, it’s better for the Steelers to defer the all-important division games until later in the year.”
? Pro Football Focus ranked the AFC North the best division in the NFL.
“The AFC North was projected as the strongest division in 2023, and despite some ups and downs, the stark reality is that this is more than likely the strongest division again heading into 2024,” Thomas Valentine of PFF wrote.
? Former Steelers guard and Hall of Famer Alan Faneca discussed his football career and more in a one-on-one interview with Rob King of Steelers.com.
? Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is rocking a new look.
? Dave Dameshek and Mark Kaboly predict the AFC North ‘24 finishing order.
