? Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields was back in Columbus for the Ohio State-Indiana game on Saturday, and he made sure to make a stop at Buckeye Donuts.

? The Amazon Prime pregame show on Thursday night revealed that Steelers special teams coach Danny Smith broke three teeth during a game last year, put them in his pocket, and waited until later in the week to see a dentist.

? Jay Timmons, the son of former Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons, had a standout performance in Pine-Richland’s 20-9 win over Peters Township in the WPIAL Class-5A Championship Game at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday night.

“It feels amazing. To be on this field, the same field my dad made his plays on,” Timmons said.

Timmons is a three-star corneback in the Class of 2026. He has six Division 1 offers so far.

? Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher believes former Cleveland Browns linebacker Clay Matthews belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

? Adam Schein of CBS Sports believes the Steelers only win two more games this season.

“We never had time to react to the Baltimore game for Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Those vibes are gone,” Schein said on CBS Sports’ That Other Pregame Show. “They took Cleveland for granted, and I feel very comfortable saying that because George Pickens said it out loud. He said we don’t respect them. We don’t think they’re that good. It was because of the weather and the snow. The conditions. Mike Tomlin, by the way, coached a terrible game. This team struggles against teams that are under .500. The schedule is absolutely insane. Cincinnati next week in Cincinnati, then they have Cleveland, then Philly, at Baltimore. Look, if everything breaks right, they win two more. Anyone wanna fight me on that right now? I mean, I honestly have bad vibes right now when it comes to these Pittsburgh Steelers.”
