NFL schedule leak: Steelers Week 2, NFC West opponent revealed
NFL schedule leak: Steelers Week 2, NFC West opponent revealed
New Steelers WR DK Metcalf will face off against his former team sooner rather than later, as Donny Chedrick of 93.7 The Fan reported that Pittsburgh will host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 of the 2025 regular season.
Metcalf was traded by the Seahawks to the Steelers in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick — and while Pittsburgh fans may not yet know who will be under center, DK provides the Steel City with a long-term solution at the wide receiver position.
The Steelers last played the Seahawks back in December 2023, when Pittsburgh won the contest 30-23. Seattle's newest signal-caller, Sam Darnold, will look to continue his career resurgence at the Steelers' expense.
The Seahawks and Steelers share many similarities on offense heading into 2025 — including uncertainty at both the wide receiver and quarterback positions — but the Black and Gold faithful will hold onto hope that Pittsburgh's revamped defense can lead them to victory over Seattle in Week 2 on September 14.

Steelers 'Insanity' With Aaron Rodgers Easy To Avoid
Steelers 'Insanity' With Aaron Rodgers Easy To Avoid originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Want to get along with new Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Let him run the show. OK, maybe that is a bit harsh. But amid questions about how the QB might get along with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, former Steelers star Merril Hoge offered up the question ... Advertisement And the answer. And away we go ... Before signing here, Rodgers claimed he wasn't "holding anybody hostage.'' ... even though he was. Somehow, the four-time MVP accumulated that power then. And he's using it now, as his new team works to customize its offense to fit his legendary (if fading) skill set. After ending a three-month wait by signing a one-year contract, Rodgers is being allowed to put his hands on the steering wheel. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Rodgers have all been in communication about changing the team's offense to fit the new QB. And Hoge is buying it. Advertisement Said Hoge (via 102.5 WDVE h/t Matthew Marczi of Steelers Depot. "When you have a guy like Aaron Rodgers, I personally believe it's insanity not to give the reins and trust the guy who's inside those white lines, who understands and feels the game, knows the game and is gonna get us in the best possible position." And nobody around here wants "insanity.'' Factually, though, Rodgers being allowed to "help run the New York Jets'' didn't work over the span of his two seasons there. he did as he wishes, skipped work when it fit him, pushed for buddies to be signed to the roster ... And ultimately was more part of the problem rather than the solution during an awful 5-12 season that got him kicked to the curb of free agency. Advertisement It will be a big for the Steelers - the only team that really bid on him - as they work to transform an offense built around 2024 quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Fields, in particular, can move. The 41-year-old pocket passer Rodgers? Not so much, as last season he was sacked 40 times. Does Tomlin fix all of that? Does Smith? Maybe Rodgers must take it on his shoulders to do so. After all, it's "insanity'' to not let him do so.

Former Steelers return to Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research
Former Steelers return to Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research Former Steelers return to Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research Former Steelers return to Pittsburgh to raise money for cancer research Two former Steelers were on hand Friday night to help raise money for cancer research at UPMC's Hillman Center. For the past nine years at the Dr. Stanley M. Marks Blood Cancer Research Fund Dinner, the James Conner Courage Award has been given to a blood cancer survivor. Conner was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma 10 years ago when he played at the University of Pittsburgh, before he became a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Conner, a former patient of Dr. Marks, was the first recipient of the award before it was named after him. All but one of the recipients were at the 10th annual event Friday, held at Acrisure Stadium. They are the faces of courage. "It's just like getting up every day and living your life, you know, not letting anything stop you," said Meghan Milligan, this year's Courage Award recipient. The 35-year-old has been diagnosed with cancer three times and is currently receiving treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. "Just taking it day by day," she said. She's done it all while competing in several marathons and is the only recipient who is still battling cancer. Conner said courage in cancer was all about battling. "It's been a long road, man, truthfully, a lot of hard work went into it, you just have to learn how to be a fighter," Conner said. "Cancer is kind of a mental fight, so just got to fight hard." Another former Steeler, Merril Hoge, was a special guest at the event. "How I look at courage is when you face something you think you can't face, and you win," Hoge said. He said he was there for a simple reason. "Because 22 years ago, there was a chance I wasn't going to be here," Hoge said. He, too, is a 20-year lymphoma survivor who was a patient of Dr. Marks. Hoge explained that the fundraising for Dr. Marks and others 40 years ago is the reason he's still alive. "My focus has been treating and curing blood cancer, and so the research behind it is so critical," Marks said. The money raised at the dinner will go to UPMC's Hillman Center, where Marks told KDKA-TV it will be used as startup funds for young researchers who would otherwise struggle to find funding. In the years since the fund started, they have raised almost $20 million, Marks said. "I'm humbled, I'm honored really," Dr. Marks said of the large crowd at the event. "I would have never imagined that it would be as successful for this many years." It all benefits people like Milligan, who says it is important to stay positive in the face of obstacles. "Obviously, you have the hard days, but you just go about life, live it to your fullest, even if you're going through a hard time, just enjoy it and live the most you can," Milligan said. KDKA-TV's Bob Pompeani emceed the dinner Friday night, as he has for most of the last decade. He was also recognized with an award for all the time he's spent volunteering.
