      Big Ben Getting Big Bucks

      (Newser) - The Pittsburgh Steelers broke the bank - something they don't normally do with player contracts - signing quarterback Ben Roethlisberger today to a $102 million deal that spans eight years. The thrifty franchise, notorious for letting big-name players leave as free agents and reloading through the draft, guaranteed its biggest name $36 million, reports ESPN. Big Ben turned 26 Sunday.

      Pats Stay Perfect, Whip Steelers

      (Newser) - Steelers safety Anthony Smith probably won't guarantee another win anytime soon after his team was defeated handily by the New England Patriots, 34-13, on the strength of four Tom Brady TD passes, reports AP. Smith was burned twice on long touchdowns and verbally sparred with Brady after the Pats' first score to Randy Moss, who had two TD receptions. More »

      Steelers Slog Through 3-0 Win Over Miami

      (Newser) - A lightning storm delayed Ricky Williams' return to the NFL tonight. And then, as if the Miami Dolphins didn't have enough trouble trying to avoid a "perfect" season, Williams hurt his shoulder and left the game late in the first half of his team's 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the first 3-0 game in the NFL since 1993, the Associated Press reports. More »

      Pittsburgh's Depleted D Pitches Shutout

      (Newser) - Despite injuries to Pittsburgh's strong safety and nose tackle—linchpins of its 3-4 defense—the Steelers prevailed over the Seahawks, 21-0, in an echo of Super Bowl XL. Signal-caller Ben Roethlisberger was also missing his top two receivers, yet went a creative 18-of-22, including a 13-yard touchdown strike to close buddy Heath Miller. More »

      Great Expectations for Big Ben

      (Newser) - Steelers signal-caller Ben Roethlisberger has taken a different approach to the 2007 season, redoubling his work ethic and assuming more responsibility in the offense. He hopes to expunge a nightmare 2006 marked by injuries and shoddy play—a disheartening fall from grace for the youngest quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl. More »

      (Newser) - Mike Tomlin handily won his first game as a Steelers coach—the customary Hall of Fame Game at Canton to open the NFL preseason. Tomlin, only the third Pittsburgh coach since 1969, strikes a profound contrast to his predecessor, Bill Cowher, who was beloved in the Steel City for his paroxysmic on-field displays of emotion.

      (Newser) - The Pittsburgh Steelers will start the season with a new head coach and offensive coaching staff who could learn a thing or two from veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He doesn’t know why his 2006-07 season didn’t match up to expectations, but he isn’t blaming off-field struggles or injuries, as one former coach did. More »
