The Associated Press Minkah Fitzpatrick can still make a big impact on Pittsburgh’s defense even when he isn’t generating big plays. Fitzpatrick was once again voted as the top safety in the league by The Associated Press, repeating his No. 1 spot from the preseason. A panel of nine AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at safety, making their selections based on current status through Week 8. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points. Fitzpatrick was the only player named on all nine ballots, ...
PITTSBURGH — It took all of four quarters for Will Levis to offer a glimpse of why the Tennessee Titans were so high on him in the draft. Throwing for four touchdowns in your debut — three of which came on the kind of downfield heaves that left scouts in awe — will do that. Levis and the Titans (3-4) don’t have much time to prep for an encore. Tennessee visits Pittsburgh (4-3) tonight with a chance to prove their electric win over Atlanta wasn’t a fluke but a sign of things to come. It’s a game Levis circled when the schedule came out even though he was buried on the ...

Will Levis has a quick turnaround to follow up an impressive debut. The Tennessee Titans’ rookie quarterback makes his second start tonight on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He won’t have to face injured All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, but he can expect to see plenty of T.J. Watt. Levis revived Tennessee’s passing attack, showing off his big arm with four touchdown passes in a win over Atlanta. The Titans (3-4) don’t have to put all the pressure on Levis and DeAndre Hopkins because they still have star running back Derrick Henry, who wasn’t moved at the ...
The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett plans to play against Tennessee on Thursday night despite a rib injury that forced him to sit out the second half of a loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. Pickett said he “for sure” will be on the field when Pittsburgh (4-3) hosts the Titans (3-4). The second-year starter watched the final two quarters against the Jaguars from afar after getting drilled by Jacksonville defensive end Adam Gotsis. Gotsis hit Pickett in the left side of the chest and then drove him into the ground in the waning moments ...
