'Sunday Night Football' live updates: Cowboys take on Steelers in Pittsburgh

Mike McCarthy’s Cowboys facing pressure to get over the hump

At 2-2, the Cowboys are off to their worst start since 2020, coach Mike McCarthy’s first season in charge and the only year in his tenure in which Dallas missed the playoffs (finished 6-10 in 2020).

After Dallas’ Week 2 loss vs. the Saints, owner Jerry Jones said McCarthy — who is in the final year of his contract — would be judged on postseason success.

“ I don’t think where (McCarthy ) is with his contract has anything to do with [the Week 1 win at] Cleveland … or how we played (in Week 2 loss vs NO ). We’re trying to get this team ready and in place to really make a run at the playoffs . … If we’ve got any albatross around our neck, it’s that we’ve been a good-to-very- good team during the season over the last four to five years with Mike, and we haven’t done well in the playoffs. So let’s trade some challenges during the season for doing well in the playoffs, if you want to look at it that way.”

Matchup of historic NFL teams

The Cowboys and Steelers are two of the NFL’s most storied teams, and this week, they’ll meet on SNF for the first time.

• Dallas and Pittsburgh have combined to win 11 Super Bowl titles (six for Pittsburgh, five for Dallas) and made 16 Super Bowl appearances (eight for both teams).

• The two teams have met in three Super Bowls, making Cowboys-Steelers the most common Super Bowl matchup in NFL history. They played each other in Super Bowl X in the 1975 season, XIII in the 1978 season and XXX in the 1995 season. Pittsburgh won the two Super Bowls in the 1970s, while Dallas took the 1990s matchup.

• The Cowboys and Steelers are the top two teams in wins in the Super Bowl era. The two teams are also first and second in regular season win percentage in the Super Bowl era (Dallas leads with .598, while Pittsburgh is 2nd at .590).

Since the Super Bowl XXX meeting nearly 29 years ago, DAL and PIT have met just six times, with each team winning three.

Four people taken into custody and charged following drug bust in Pittsburgh suburb

The Allegheny County Police Department announced charges against four people after a drug bust earlier this week in Braddock.

On Thursday, the county police’s violent crime and firearms unit, along with the SWAT team, served a search warrant at a home on Corey Avenue.

When they entered, they found two adult men, an adult woman, and one boy inside. They were all taken into custody.

Following a search of the home, detectives found a loaded handgun, five bricks of suspected fentanyl, multiple handgun magazines, and firearm accessories.

All four of the people in the home are now facing charges in connection with the investigation.

Among them is 24-year-old Jawan Coachman, who is being charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, and tampering with evidence. Both 18-year-old Nathaniel Scott and 19-year-old Nakhiya Enoch are facing multiple drug charges and an additional charge related to firearms violations.

Meanwhile, the juvenile had charges filed in juvenile court, and his identity has not been released.

All Pittsburgh Steelers Picks 2026 NFL Draft | NESN

No team in the league has more picks in the 2026 NFL Draft than the Pittsburgh Steelers. The defending AFC North Champions are scheduled to make 12 picks in this year’s draft.

Pittsburgh has a selection in all seven rounds of the draft, which kicks off on Thursday, April 23rd, and concludes on Saturday, April 25th.

Round 1: Pick 21
Round 2: Pick 53
Round 3: Pick 76
Round 3: Pick 85
Round 3: Pick 99
Round 4: Pick 121
Round 4: Pick 135
Round 5: Pick 161
Round 6: Pick 216
Round 7: Pick 224
Round 7: Pick 230
Round 7: Pick 237

New Head Coach Mike McCarthy inherited a roster with more than a fair share of holes to fill. Perhaps none more so than wide receiver.

Trading for highly productive former Indianapolis Colts draft pick Michael Pittman Jr. to play alongside D.K. Metcalf certainly helped, but third-year receiver Roman Wilson is currently slotted as the team’s wide receiver No. 3 with only 164 career yards. The Steelers can go anywhere with their first-round selection, and if one of the big three receivers falls (Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon), don’t count the Steelers out.

The second most pressing need is safety, and the Steelers are in luck. There are at least three safeties with a consensus first-round grade in this year’s class. At 21, Pittsburgh is in a prime position to pick up a day-one starter if they go this route.

With 12 picks, McCarthy will hope to secure at least six starters/role players, and with three picks in the third round, they’ve got the draft capital to do just that.
