Steelers searching for clues and how to fix things

By Will Graves The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — T.J. Watt checked his phone, stuck his hands in his pockets, took a breath and looked up, girding himself for the questions he knew would come. Eight years into his pro career, the Pittsburgh Steelers star linebacker has become all too familiar with the abruptness of how seasons end. Maybe because they always seem to end the same for his team. A promising start. A slide to the finish. A lopsided playoff loss. An uncomfortable locker cleanout day and muted goodbyes. In that way, 2024 was no different from 2023. Or 2021. Or 2020. ...

Rested Chiefs going for 3-peat

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press The biggest question facing the Kansas City Chiefs as they resume their quest to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls is whether 3¢ weeks’ rest will result in too much rust. Patrick Mahomes and most of Kansas City’s other stars last played on Christmas Day, when they walloped the Pittsburgh Steelers to secure the AFC’s top seed and lone first-round bye.
