Chris Boswell hilariously reflects on his time with Killer B’s

Chris Boswell reflects on his time with the “Killer B’s,” recalling the excitement of playing alongside Roethlisberger, Brown, and Bell.

Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell, commonly referred to as the “Killer B’s,” were one of the scariest QB-RB-WR trios in NFL history. However, one additional “B” from that era is still with the team today: none other than K Chris Boswell.

Boswell’s play is elite in its own right, but the kicker was asked about the experience of playing alongside these three offensive titans during his early years with the team. On LS Christian Kuntz podcast, Boswell hilariously recalled how he always had to stay warmed up because the offense could score on any given play:

“They could just score at the snap of a finger—a blink of an eye. There’s AB [Antonio Brown] taking a slant for 80. Martavis Bryant is 6’6″ and runs a 4.3 just straight down the field.”

Boswell wrapped up his praise for his former teammates by offering one of the greatest compliments anyone could give:

“It’s the most fun I’ve ever had playing.”

 

Fans who witnessed the mid-2010s Steelers understood that this offense was one of the NFL’s best. Many would agree with Boswell that it was one of the most enjoyable eras to be a Steelers fan.

Former Steelers All-Pro RB calls out fans over Mike Tomlin criticism

Former RB Le’Veon Bell defends Mike Tomlin amid rising calls for the Steelers’ head coach to be fired following the team’s Week 12 loss.

In what has resulted in a terrible Pittsburgh Steelers blame game, the team’s Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns has taken a toll on players and fans alike.

While much discussion over who is more directly responsible for the 24-19 loss to Cleveland has resulted in several prominent names being thrown under the bus, such as HC Mike Tomlin, OC Arthur Smith, QB Russell Wilson, and P Corliss Waitman, former Steelers All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell is sick of hearing it.

This blame game has recently turned into a Tomlin witch hunt, with fans calling for the head coach to be fired. Bell, who spent the majority of his career under Tomlin’s leadership, recently made it clear on social media that any fans calling for the coach’s firing are “not real Steelers fans.”

Out of everything Bell touched on, the truest statement he made is that everyone is clearly overreacting to the Steelers’ Week 12 loss. Within a few weeks, fans will forget this stinging defeat, and the 8-3 Pittsburgh Steelers can prove why the 2024 season will finally lead to a deep playoff run.

Former Steelers All-Pro WR teases return to Pittsburgh on social media

Antonio Brown teased on social media that he still hopes to rejoin the Steelers in 2024, and even offered to play for free.

The Antonio Brown-Pittsburgh redemption story continues! While fans of the Steel City were ecstatic to welcome back the former All-Pro WR and fellow member of the Killer B’s trio, former Steelers All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell, no one could have predicted that Brown still yearns to play for the Black and Gold in 2024.

It appears Brown wasn’t satisfied with simply representing the Black and Gold as a spectator during his Week 7 return to Pittsburgh. Brown stated on social media that his offer to finish out the 2024 season as a member of the Steelers roster still stands.

No one can deny the threat that a Russell Wilson-led Steelers offense would pose with A.B., George Pickens, and Mike Williams tearing through opposing secondaries.

Should General Manager Omar Khan and Head Coach Mike Tomlin take a chance on the 36-year-old wide receiver? His untimely and shocking exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during their Week 17 game of the 2021 season was the last time his talents graced an NFL field, but he has recently done his best to turn over a new leaf.

Steelers’ HOF safety returning to Pittsburgh in Week 11

2020 Hall of Fame inductee S Donnie Shell has been confirmed to be in attendance for Pittsburgh’s Week 11 contest against Baltimore.

Plenty of familiar faces have returned to the city of Pittsburgh this season to watch their former team and participate in pre-game tailgate activities with fans. Former Steelers such as WR Antonio Brown, RB Le’Veon Bell, and K Jeff Reed have all attended the Terrible Tailgate—an amazing fan-organized tailgate experience for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

On social media, the Terrible Tailgate has announced that on November 17th, Week 11’s home game versus the Baltimore Ravens, the game will feature an extra special guest for fans to meet—2020 Hall of Fame safety Donnie Shell. 

While initially teasing the mystery HOF guest, the Terrible Tailgate provided fans with exactly who the Steelers legend in question is through the ticket sales information.

Shell was a vital part of the legendary Steel Curtain defense in the 1970s, helping the team win four Super Bowl during his tenure with the team.  Donnie ‘Torpedo’ Shell was one of the hardest-hitting safeties the NFL has ever seen, and is beloved to Pittsburgh fans all over the world.

Former Steelers’ RB has 3-word response to Pickens’ Week 7 performance

Former Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell quickly took to social media to remind everyone just how great George Pickens will be under Russell Wilson.

Former Steelers All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell made headlines this week as he and former Steelers All-Pro WR Antonio Brown attended Pittsburgh’s Week 7 Sunday Night Football game against the New York Jets.

In the buildup to the game, one of the key storylines surrounding the ‘Steel City’ was the controversial quarterback switch initiated by Head Coach Mike Tomlin. While some fans were confused and frustrated by the polarizing decision, Bell stated that Steelers WR George Pickens would look better than ever under the new starting quarterback, Russell Wilson.

After Pickens produced 111 yards and one touchdown on just 5 catches, Bell took to social media to give the Wilson and Steelers doubters a piece of his mind.

His response, while simple, speaks volumes to every Steelers doubter heading into Week 7. While many in the ‘Steel City’ will likely rescind their previous predictions about the team’s future, the new Steelers quarterback, Russell Wilson, would probably respond to doubters with the same three words as Bell: ‘I told you.’

Antonio Brown arrives in Pittsburgh for Week 7, Le’Veon Bell is next

Announcing last week his plans to return for Week 7’s game, Antonio Brown has touched down in Pittsburgh on Friday, will Bell coming soon.

Last week, former Steelers All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown made headlines as he announced his return to Pittsburgh for Week 7. Speculation ran rampant, but it was later revealed that he and former Steelers teammate, All-Pro RB Le’Veon Bell, would attend Pittsburgh’s Week 7 contest against the New York Jets.

The pair were also present at the game and the Terrible Tailgate in Las Vegas when the Steelers traveled to take on the Raiders in Week 6.

On Friday, AB confirmed his arrival in the ‘Steel City’ on social media, with Bell replying that he too would be next.

The nostalgia and memories the ‘Killer B’s’ created are enough to make any grown Steelers fan emotional, but excitement is in the air as two of the greatest NFL playmakers from the past decade return to root for the team they love. While polarizing, to say the least, it is heartwarming to see the two formerly disgruntled players put aside their differences with the team to return to Pittsburgh.

Former Steelers All-Pro RB makes prediction on George Pickens’ future

Le’Veon Bell made headlines last week as he attended the Week 6 game in Vegas. He has a bold prediction about Pickens’ future production.

George Pickens has been the limelight as of late for all the wrong reasons.  From drama stemming from inconsistent play a few weeks ago, to maturity issues with media availability, and more recently, ruining Mike Tomlin’s Week 7 ‘super-secret’ quarterback plan.

The news on Russell Wilson’s Week 7 start, that Pickens leaked accidentally, was unsurprising to most fans, as there were subtle hints that Justin Fields was going to be benched.  However, former All-Pro Steelers’ RB Le’Veon Bell believes Wilson will open doorways for Pickens that he hasn’t had before.

Can anyone truly argue with what Bell is predicting?  From his highlight reel catches, to being one of the most complete receivers in today’s game, Pickens’ talent is undeniable.  Wilson, who has had extremely talented receivers unlock their potential under his signal calling before, should get more out of Pickens’ production than any previous QB has gotten before.

Tune in to watch the duo’s first start together in Week 7, as the Steelers take on the Jets on Sunday Night Football, on October 20th, at 8:20 PM EST.

Former Steelers’ All-Pro RB and WR confirm Week 7 return

Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown are trying to correct their sour exits from the Steel City by confirming their attendance at Week 7’s game.

The formerly disgruntled pair of Steelers’ All-Pro players, RB Le’Veon Bell and WR Antonio Brown, made headlines last week as they attended Pittsburgh’s Week 6 contest in Las Vegas against the Raiders.  They not only supported their team, they also participated in the ‘Terrible Tailgate‘ with fans.

It appeared that the pair was not quite finished earning back the hearts of the ‘Steel City’ faithful, as Brown had posted on social media that this upcoming weekend he would be returning to Pittsburgh.  While speculation ran rampant as to whether he would attend the game or not, his former teammate Bell seemed to all but confirm the rumors.

 

Are you excited for the return of two-thirds of the ‘Killer Bs’?  The duo created a plethora of memories for the Pittsburgh Steelers and seem to be set on making new moments with fans.  Perhaps a potential reunion with Ben Roethlisberger is too much to ask for, but fans of the these elite players can only dream of such a day to arrive.

Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown reunite at Week 6’s Terrible Tailgate

Antonio Brown has started his reunion tour one week early, meeting up with his former teammate Le’Veon Bell at Week 6’s Terrible Tailgate.

Nostalgia is in the air for fans who loved the ‘Killer B’ era of Steelers history.  Two out of the three ‘Bs’, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, visited Las Vegas this Sunday morning to party with the Terrible Tailgate.

While both former Steelers players have had their issues with the team in the past, it’s heartwarming to see the two talented playmakers, who created so many amazing memories for fans, reconcile their differences and enjoy the energy of Pittsburgh once again.

 

Antonio Brown recently made headlines when he indicated he would be returning to Pittsburgh next weekend.  Could Bell and Brown attend the Week 7 contest, where their former team hosts the New York Jets?

While it may be wishful thinking, fingers should be crossed for a possible reunion of all ‘Killer B’ members, including the legendary Steelers QB, Ben Roethlisberger.

Bell and Brown will be watching their former team attempt to stop their two-game losing streak against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, on October 13th, at 4:05 PM EST.

Former Steelers’ All-Pro WR returning to Pittsburgh

Former Steelers WR Antonio Brown has announced his return to Pittsburgh next weekend. Will Brown be in attendance for Jets versus Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers, after losing two consecutive weeks, were in definite need of a shake-up. However, the return of disgruntled former All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown was not something many fans had on their bingo cards.

Brown left Pittsburgh after a falling out with the quarterback at the time, Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger.  AB felt his chance to win a Super Bowl had closed in the ‘Steel City’ and subsequently requested a trade. His departure from the Steelers to the Raiders marked a permanent hiatus from the team and Pittsburgh—until now.

His controversial past has made him a polarizing figure, but no one can take away his accomplishments on the field or his connection with inevitable first-ballot Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger.

Brown’s declaration of his return to Pittsburgh next weekend could coincide with the Steelers versus the New York Jets in Week 7, but fans can only continue to speculate until more information is released.

AB will be attending a Pittsburgh tradition with another formerly disgruntled Steeler, RB Le’Veon Bell, this weekend at the ‘Terrible Tailgate’ before the Steelers’ Week 6 game in Las Vegas.
