The 2017 running back class has taken over the league
Five weeks in to the 2019 season, one thing is clear: The running backs who entered the league in 2017 have taken over. As to rushing yardage, four of the top five leaders entered the league in 2017. And the list of quality running backs is so long that it’s difficult to list them all [more]
Colin Kaepernick’s agent has gotten “little to no response from teams”
All Colin Kaepernick wants is an opportunity, his representation said Thursday.

Steelers get chippy with a Wednesday practice full of skirmishes
The Steelers aren’t happy. For now, they’re taking out their frustrations on each other. Via Mark Kaboly of TheAthletic.com, Wednesday’s practice featured multiple skirmishes among teammates.

Tomlin defends decision to trust his defense after winning overtime coin toss
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin made an unusual decision on Sunday: When the game went to overtime, Pittsburgh won the coin toss and Tomlin did not choose to receive the kickoff.
