(Not so) home sweet home for the Steelers

Playing at home hasn’t been an advantage for the Steelers so far this season as they come limping off two consecutive losses in their first two games at Heinz Field.

Playing at home has not been an advantage for the Pittsburgh Steelers so far this season as they come limping off two consecutive losses in their first two games at Heinz Field.

“There’s going to be a test that comes in Lambeau Field in the former Green Bay Packers,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said recently.  “So, we’re working hard with an edge to get better, but we’re also working hard with an edge to prepare ourselves for that challenge — that’s a significant one.”

Home field has typically been an advantage for the Steelers — dating back to 2019, they are 12-5 at Heinz Field and 8-9 away. In 2020, Pittsburgh was 7-1 at home; this season they dropped two consecutive matchups.

Let’s hope the Steelers can get things rolling again away from the confines of Heinz Field. After Green Bay, Pittsburgh again plays host for two straight games with visits from the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.

Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers take on Aaron Rodgers’ Packers today at 4:25 eastern.

2 Steelers elevated to 53-man roster for showdown with Packers

In light of the Chase Claypool injury, 2 offensive players have been elevated from the practice squad.

With a hamstring injury holding Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool out of their contest with the Green Bay Packers, Cody White has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

And the already shaky offensive line unit is also dealing with injuries to tackle Chuks Okorafor and reserve tackle Rashaad Coward. Offensive lineman Chaz Green has been elevated for depth behind presumed starting tackle Joe Haeg.
