An annual diversity study has found the NFL posted significant gains in hiring women for positions in coaching, front offices and league headquarters.

The NFL’s overwhelming popularity just keeps on growing, no matter how many significant, unsavory off-field issues loom as its season enters its second half.

The worst division in the NFL gets a prime-time matchup when the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons meet for the second time in less than two weeks on Thursday night.

The Pittsburgh Steelers could get a much-needed jolt as they begin the second half of their season.

Help is on the way for the struggling Pittsburgh Steelers.

The NFL trade deadline is approaching faster by the day, and these three NFL receivers are generating a ton of buzz. The deadline is November 1.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will play against Miami if he clears the NFL's concussion protocol.

Mitch Trubisky came on for an injured Kenny Pickett to throw a 6-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and the Pittsburgh Steelers stunned Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-18.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Steelers play each other in Week 6 of the NFL season. Mike Tomlin and Todd Bowles are two of four Black head coaches in the NFL.

Mitch Trubisky will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2022 season opener in Cincinnati, with rookie Kenny Pickett the top backup.

Mitch Trubisky will be the starter on Sunday when Pittsburgh begins the post-Ben Roethlisberger era in Cincinnati.

Mitch Trubisky staked his claim to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 win over Detroit in the NFL's preseason finale.

The mushroom-like padding players are wearing on their helmets during training camps this summer are called Guardian Caps.

It's why the longtime Pittsburgh Steelers coach is in no rush to announce a starting quarterback. Or spend the next six weeks giving daily updates on who might be in the lead to replace the retired Ben Roethlisberger. Tomlin knows the situation will not sort itself out on Twitter or the internet or sports talk radio or debate shows but the practice field.

The last 12 months have been a transformative year in the NBA when it comes to diversity among coaches.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan is embracing his new role with the club.

The on-the-fly retooling of the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is nearly complete. Outgoing general manager Kevin Colbert ended his 20-plus-year tenure with the organization by investing heavily in offensive skill players in his final draft, with the hope that his still-unnamed successor is well-positioned for the future. Throw them into the mix with the top of the 2021 draft class that featured running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth and it's clear the Steelers have loaded up on young and relatively inexpensive talent (at least in the short-term).

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert has spent more than 20 years being as vague as possible before the NFL draft. There will likely be a handful of prospects available when Pittsburgh goes on the clock with the 20th overall pick in the first round. Just don't expect Colbert have commissioner Roger Goodell sprint to the podium with a selection.

Former teammates and coaches paid tribute to former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins during an emotional memorial service a little less than two weeks after the 24-year-old was killed on a South Florida highway.

The Florida Highway Patrol has released more information following the stunning death of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins Saturday morning in South Florida. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin put out a statement earlier Saturday following the news of Haskins’ death. “I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Tomlin said. “He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. https://t.co/3JKEqR8Ndk — Micah Parsons (@MicahhParsons11) April 9, 2022“Wow, may you rest Rest in Peace big bro!,” former Harrisburg High, Penn State and current Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons tweeted.

Haskins had been in South Florida practicing with several teammates.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and former Ohio State standout Dwayne Haskins was hit and killed by a car Saturday morning in South Florida, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Tomlin said. He was reportedly in South Florida training with fellow Steelers teammates after being re-signed by the team less than a month ago. “RIP Dwayne Haskins ...” Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray tweeted. https://t.co/3JKEqR8Ndk — Micah Parsons (@MicahhParsons11) April 9, 2022“Wow, may you rest Rest in Peace big bro!,” Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons tweeted.

Ahkello Witherspoon spent most of the first half of the 2021 NFL season standing on the sideline in sweatpants while the Pittsburgh Steelers went on without him. Witherspoon credits both for the two-year contract he signed earlier this month that will keep the veteran cornerback in Pittsburgh. “The most important opportunity is the next one,” Witherspoon said Monday.

To ensure more opportunities for diverse candidates, the NFL has added requirements on the hiring of offensive assistant coaches, and women in general.

Skyy Moore grew up in suburban Pittsburgh and played high school football with Dino Tomlin, the son of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. “It’s a storybook ending if I landed with the Steelers,” Moore told reporters Wednesday. Moore is one of two WMU players to earn invites to this year’s combine, along with quarterback Kaleb Eleby. I learned a lot from just all the receivers that were ahead of me, NFL players,” Moore said. In 2019, Moore caught 51 passes for 802 yards and three touchdowns, earning first-team all-MAC honors as a true freshman.

Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores thinks race placed a factor in the team’s decision to fire him in January.

Flores, who is Black, was fired in Miami despite leading the franchise to consecutive winning seasons.

Brian Flores is back in the NFL.

Large numbers of Republicans have soured on the NFL and disapprove of the league's efforts to improve treatment of Black players, poll shows.

The Miami Dolphins have hired San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their new coach, making him the first minority candidate to get hired so far this offseason.

Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant Teryl Austin says the NFL needs to keep finding opportunities for coaches of color.

The NFL's Rooney Rule set out to correct inequities at the top of pro football's hierarchy. But today, there are still few minorities in head coaching positions.

Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant Teryl Austin says the NFL needs to keep finding opportunities for coaches of color.

Majority of the league is Black, but the people that make the hiring decisions, don't represent that demographic.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says all options are on the table when it comes to finding a starting quarterback in 2022.

The NFL has taken several steps to improve diversity among leadership positions, yet Mike Tomlin is the only Black head coach after Brian Flores and David Culley were fired this week.

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio says it was his decision to fire head coach David Culley after just one season.

The Tennessee Titans are the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs for the first time since 2008.

The Houston Texans have fired coach David Culley after just one season.

The last time the Chiefs played the Steelers, record-setting wide receiver Tyreek Hill had just recovered from COVID-19 and star tight end Travis Kelce was sitting at home and still dealing with the virus.

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs played the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs, Tyreek Hill was a wide-eyed rookie wide receiver, Chris Jones was learning the ropes at defensive tackle and Travis Kelce was just becoming one of the NFL's best tight ends.

It sounded like wishful thinking at best. “I'm capable of talking myself in(to) anything,” Mike Tomlin said last week when asked about the seemingly unlikely series of events the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to unfold if they wanted to navigate their way to the playoffs. Over the past four months, through injuries, uncharacteristically lopsided losses and a series of wins whose only saving grace was the final score — oh and that comical tie with Detroit — Tomlin's message has not changed.

NFL executive Troy Vincent hopes hiring minority candidates becomes so common that the Rooney Rule is unnecessary.

The Pittsburgh Steelers don't make any sense. Joe Haden returned from a month on the sideline with the game-sealing tackle in the final seconds. The offense managed all of 168 yards, failed to score a first-half touchdown for the fourth straight game and managed all of 35 yards rushing.

Never mind the comeback the Pittsburgh Steelers made in the second half.

Never mind the comeback the Pittsburgh Steelers made in the second half. Mike Tomlin had seen enough before that, and the 15th-year coach was so upset he started benching players in search of a spark. The defense gave up 176 yards rushing to the Minnesota Vikings in the first half.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are receiving a heavy dose of criticism from former players during a three-game winless streak.

New Southern California coach Lincoln Riley watched the Trojans practice Tuesday, getting a look at his next team following his surprise departure from Oklahoma.

LSU is hiring Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame.

The Pittsburgh Steelers say they're taking nothing for granted when they face winless Detroit.

Detroit Lions first-round pick Penei Sewell had some ups and downs in his move from left tackle to right tackle and then back to left tackle, as you might imagine from any rookie, much less one who was also the youngest player ever to start at that position. That was especially true in his last three games, when he allowed just one hit, no sacks and five total pressures. “His pedigree is ridiculous, his talent is ridiculous.”Of course, the Lions also have another talented offensive tackle in Taylor Decker. “Look, he’s going to go today and he’s got to prove to us that he can’t,” head coach Dan Campbell said. “He’s already a big name in this league, he’s already established himself, and I have to do the same.”

Chris Boswell's 40-yard field goal with 26 seconds left lifted the Pittsburgh Steelers past the Chicago Bears 29-27.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says he considers it a “joke” that his name has been linked to open college jobs at USC and LSU.

The Las Vegas Raiders began the post-Jon Gruden era with a 34-24 thrashing of the Denver Broncos.

The NFL’s crackdown on unsportsmanlike penalties is working the way the league intended.

Nancy Armour believes we've seen the last of Jon Gruden coaching football or potentially being in the public eye as a broadcaster.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who could leave Green Bay following the 2022 season, hinted he could see himself playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I’m a big Mike Tomlin fan. I like Mike Tomlin,”Rodgers and the Packers beat Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, 27-17, on Sunday. Meanwhile the 37-year-old Rodgers and the Packers have won three straight to move into first place in the NFC North. Unhappy with the direction of the Packers, Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, had threatened to retire earlier this year before reworking his deal to return to Green Bay.

Chris Wormley is ready to do whatever the Pittsburgh Steelers ask. “I'm kind of a versatile guy,” Wormley said Monday. Good thing, because the Steelers will need the 27-year-old to be flexible, particularly with Stephon Tuitt's status uncertain as the opener against Buffalo looms on Sept. 12.

The Detroit Lions are on the road for the first time of the 2021 campaign, facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Game 2 of the preseason.

Mike Tomlin is sticking with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Titans trailed the Ravens 17-13 in the fourth quarter and faced a fourth-and-2 and the Baltimore 40-yard line. Mike Vrabel has made some outlandish claims on what he’s willing to do to win a Super Bowl, but apparently going for it here didn’t make the (ahem) cut. “Just decided to punt,” Vrabel told reporters after the Titans’ 20-13 loss. The Browns exhaled and marched down the field for another touchdown after the punt, all but sealing their first playoff win since 1994. — Surrender Index 90 (@surrender_idx90) January 11, 2021While Kevin Stefanski was in his basement, Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Tomlin punted on fourth-and-1 when his team had all the momentum.

Don’t ask Mike Tomlin about “trap games.”The Pittsburgh Steelers coach doesn’t believe in them. “I’m not into the trap game discussion,” Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday ahead of the Steelers (9-0) meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8). In fact, prior to 2020 when the Big Ten isn’t playing non-conference games, at least one MAC team has defeated a Big Ten team in every season since 2005. Michigan State last fell to a MAC team when Central Michigan won at Spartan Stadium in 2009. Michigan hasn’t lost to a MAC team since Toledo beat the Wolverines during the 2008 season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and head coach Mike Tomlin are denying claims from Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett that Rudolph uttered a racial slur prior to a brawl that erupted between the two teams at the end of a game last season. https://t.co/mZcEcC0tCl Mason Rudolph (@Rudolph2Mason) February 15, 2020Tomlin also backed the quarterback in a statement released Saturday. "I support Mason Rudolph not only because I know him, but also because I was on that field immediately following the altercation with Myles Garrett, and subsequently after the game," Tomlin said. When Garrett appealed his suspension, he told the NFL Rudolph called him a racial slur, but the NFL could find no evidence to support that claim. Both Rudolph and Garrett could be seen trying to remove each other's helmets while wrestling on the ground prior to Garrett hitting Rudolph.
