Pittsburgh Steelers

Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a member of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Best known for their legendary "iron curtain" defensive line, the black and gold Pittsburgh Steelers are an integral part of professional football history.

The fifth-oldest franchise in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers joined professional football history in 1933 when Art Rooney purchased the Steelers franchise for a mere $2,500. Eight decades later, the Pittsburgh Steelers proved a worthy investment, having played in six Super Bowls, winning five of them. From 1974 to 1979 the Steelers became the first NFL franchise to win four Super Bowl titles in six seasons.

Avid Pittsburgh Steelers fans own and wave the “terrible towel” created by legendary sportscaster Myron Cope to celebrate team spirit and wave the Steelers on to victory.

  Here’s my take on the Steelers’ 28-10 victory against the Denver Broncos on Monday night.   1.) The defending champs showed flashes of their Super Bowl form in recent weeks, but they came at home.

  There’s still a bad after taste in my mouth after last night’s game. Maybe it’s the extra Roethlisberger that the Steelers ordered up in the Mile High drive-thru. Throw in a side of Holmes and Hines, and a large Mendenhall to wash it all down, and you have the 28-10 Denver loss that we all witnessed last ...

  Steelers 28, Broncos 10. This was actually a close game most of the way, until the Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger blew it open in the 4th with touchdown passes to Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. Ben rallied from a fumble and interception to finish with 21-29 with 233 yds and 3 TDs. And then he probably played the ...
