Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise analyzes the impact the Steelers' recent winning streak should have on how coach Mike Tomlin is viewed. This show is presented by FanDuel. Should it silence his many critics for the time being? Or is an NFL playoffs victory the only thing that could satisfy them? How much credit does he deserve for the offensive turnaround under OC Arthur Smith? From passing success with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and others. To improved rushing capabilities with Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren behind the improved offensive line? And how legit is the defense's recent success? Paul tackles those questions, then analyzes Tomlin's role in the defense, which has found late-season success behind star including Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and others. Despite the loss of T.J. Watt. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the team's practice Tuesday at its South Side facility, where coach Mike Tomlin held his weekly news conference. What did Tomlin have to say about DK Metcalf, who was suspended for two games for his altercation with a fan Sunday in Detroit? What is the team expecting from Metcalf's appeal, which will take place Tuesday evening in front of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell? Is this an opportunity for Roman Wilson, who has been a healthy scratch lately? Will Calvin Austin III be able to play against the Browns? Would Tomlin sit veterans like Aaron Rodgers and Cam Heyward if the Ravens lose to the Packers on Sunday, rendering the Steelers-Browns moot? Why were they so good on third downs in Detroit? And why is Tomlin being more aggressive on fourth downs? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

December 22, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 67 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 16 Sunday afternoon win against the Detroit Lions. Was the Steelers' Sunday road win the best one that HC Mike Tomlin has ever had in the regular season? Alex and I address that question early on in this show. We both make sure to note how surprised we were that the Steelers beat the Lions on Sunday and how enthralling the end of that game was. In our weekly housekeeping portion of this show, which is sponsored by the fine folks at TouringPlans.com, Alex and I talk about the Steelers' Sunday inactive list and the players who missed the contest due to injuries. We also talk about the transactions that the team made on Saturday afternoon. Alex and I discuss RB Kaleb Johnson and WR Roman Wilson both being healthy scratches on Sunday and why DL Logan Lee was likely active for the game against the Lions. The Steelers sustained a few injuries on Sunday, so we discuss those. That list of players included CB Brandin Echols (groin) and WR Calvin Austin III (hamstring). After going through the newsy items related to Saturday and Sunday, Alex and I look at what all transpired at Ford Field against the Lions. We first talk about the play of the Steelers' offense and how good the rushing attack was. We also discuss several of the big plays made on Sunday and how QB Aaron Rodgers once again seemed to be in total control of the unit. We make sure to discuss how often the Steelers used an empty backfield against the Lions and why. RB Kenneth Gainwell, RB Jaylen Warren, WR Scotty Miller and WR Adam Thielen all had healthy contributions on Sunday, so we make sure to tip our caps to those players, along with several others. After a lengthy discussion about the Steelers' offense, Alex and I do the same with their defense. We discuss that unit controlling the Lions' rushing attack and how there were essentially three takeaways on that side of the football on Sunday. We discuss several individual performances on defense against the Lions. Finally, Alex and I give some thoughts on special teams play from Sunday. We discuss the late miss by K Chris Boswell, the low snap by LS Christian Kuntz and the players that registered tackles in that third phase of the game. There were several key penalties during the Steelers-Lions game, so we discuss the more notable ones. We also discuss the final play of the game as well. After discussing Sunday's game in detail, Alex and I discuss the troubling altercation that WR DK Metcalf had with a fan on Sunday. We discuss what has been said about what possibly led to that interaction and whether Metcalf is likely to be suspended for a game for his actions. After discussing Metcalf's Sunday incident, Alex and I look at the AFC North clinching scenarios for the Steelers heading into Week 16. We discuss the possibility of the Steelers' Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns possibly being meaningless and if the team would consider resting starters should that ultimately come to fruition. Is the AFC wide open enough for the Steelers to win at this point? Alex and I address that question later in this show. We also discuss Tomlin registering a 19th non-losing season on Sunday after logging his 200th career win in the NFL. This 114-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Packers Total Access Hour 2 : Aaron Rodgers & The Steelers Help The Packers Playoff Hopes!

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo recap the NFL Week 16 victory against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Is coach Mike Tomlin's team a legit AFC playoff threat after taking down Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and a desperate Lions team? What was working for OC Arthur Smith's unit, led by QB Aaron Rodgers; RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell; WRs Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller and DK Metcalf; and TE Darnell Washington? And how much praise do Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and the defense deserve for limiting the Lions' potent offense? Especially in the absence of T.J. Watt? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to an NFL Week 16 victory against the Detroit Lions. Did coach Mike Tomlin's team prove it is built for late-season and NFL playoffs success after beating the potent Lions offense led by Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown? Why were Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer, Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and the run defense able to have so much success against Gibbs? How much of a strength is the running game becoming on offense. With Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell finding huge holes even behind a patchwork offensive line? And is this an identity that can be maintained in the coming weeks? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders DK Metcalf's altercation with a fan in the stands at Ford Field. Could the NFL suspend him? And if so, what impact would that have on QB Aaron Rodgers and a passing game that's hit its stride the past few weeks with names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Scotty Miller in the mix?
