DK needs to catch that.
Zeise
2:00
Good punt and return
Ken
2:00
How is it that not one completed pass to a wide out so far?  What???
Hillbilly
2:00
Rodgers looks a little off today
OneAndDone
2:00
Jets team that gashed us is getting dominated by Bills
Jaded Yinzer
2:00
Wow! Got SO lucky on that one. Terrible throw
Carlo
2:00
Out kicks our coverage
Larry
2:00
20 minutes into the game, the Jets are being shut out with 18 total yards. Maybe Justin Fields is not Superman after all.
Jeff B
2:00
Out  kicked the coverage there….
Paul Heyman
2:00
Why do other defenses know to cover the middle but we can’t?
Seattle Mark
2:00
Ugh…
Bones
2:00
Our special team coverage has been very poor this year
Ken
2:00
Another good punt.  Our coverage teams haven't played very well today.
South Side Mike
2:01
Hopefully we can get it into Boz's kicking range for the 9-7 win

2:01
Come on Danny. Get your boys to tackle.
Paul Heyman
2:01
except for Ramsey and Boz, no one looks like they have fire in the belly
Zeise
2:01
Ekuale is good at getting to the ball. Not so good at tackling
TFS
2:02
Typical rock fight kind of game.
Facts
2:02
Here are rankings for Danny Smith’s special teams units over roughly the past 10 years (2015-2024), based largely on Rick Gosselin’s annual NFL special teams rankings. Lower score = better unit.

Year Steelers’ Rank among 32 NFL ST Units Notes / Comments

2015 6th One of his better years.
2016 20th Drop from 2015; injuries impacted performance.
2017 17th
2018 25th
2019 9th
2020 18th
2021 17th
2022 21st
2023 17th
2024 Data not yet in Gosselin’s full annual ranking (as of last available) — but from reports, Steelers ST under Smith have strong metrics (kicking, FG/XP, returns) and are considered better in certain components.

---

If you want, I can pull together more detailed metrics (return yards, field goal %, coverage, penalties, etc.) to flesh out why each year was ranked where it was. Do you want that?
Ken
2:02
Here they come.  We need another sack or interception.
The Dude
2:02
Another tricky play by Seattle. Nothing like that in Steelers playbook?
Chipped Ham Sammich
2:02
Out schemed.
Paul Heyman
2:02
PZ…is Meyer that bad?
Jaded Yinzer
2:02
Burrow hurt in Cincy
Robert Layne
2:02
how do we not cover their only good receiver
Kevin in NJ
2:02
when is the last time opponent fell backwards with this pathetic defense.
Ken
2:02
A must stop now!!!
The Standard
2:02
This defense has talent. Coaching is the problem,
Tom
2:02
Benton is playing better
Zeise
2:02
Should be another QB sneak here]
Bones
2:02
Our 300 lb lineman just bounced off a RB
Tiki’s barber
2:02
Benton is much better than Black
Bob's Your Uncle
2:02
Stuck here in Philly where the local stations choose to broadcast three NY teams and Dallas over the Steelers.
Paul Heyman
2:02
Chipped Ham…agree
Ken
2:03
Patrick Queen in the injury tent.  What is going on???
Lou
2:03
I thought Kaleb Johnson was going to unlock the outside zone run. But they don’t use him.
Zeise
2:03
Queen hobbled off haven't seen if he is back
2:04
Queen (ribs injury) return questionable
Bob's Your Uncle
2:04
Wilson looking good against the Cowboys.
Connecting…
