“It’s that time of the year,” Tiffany Sherbondi, of Belle Vernon, said.

Sherbondi and her friends arrived at the outlets at 4:30 a.m. and waited in line before capitalizing on Black Friday deals. 

“There’s no gameplan. It’s get what you can,” Sherbondi said.

Scores of people came to the outlets on Friday to get what they could, including Nadia Minnick and her friends from Somerset County.

“We traveled from Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, which is about an hour and a half south from here,” she said.

Minnick said that during her trip to the Nike store, she and her friends bought matching sets. Happy customers like Minnick and her friends are what the outlets have been working for all year.

“Last year was record-breaking. We expect the same for sure,” said Megan Hindes, director of marketing at Tanger Outlets Pittsburgh.

In an era of online shopping, there’s just something about walking away from a store with a bag of items. 

“You can go in and feel the product, feel the value of the store, the experience,” Hindes said.

The Steelers are the AFC North leaders once again after Thanksgiving

The Steelers are the AFC North leaders once again after Thanksgiving


The Baltimore Ravens lost on Thanksgiving, so the Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place once again. It was a short four days that the Ravens took over the lead and the Steelers need to win on Sunday to keep it.

The Steelers play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and a loss by the Steelers would move the Ravens back into first place thanks to the record vs common opponents tiebreaker as of right now. Wins over the Jets, Vikings, Bears and two wins over the Browns squeaks past the Steelers.

The Kansas City Chiefs lost on Thursday, too, so the wild card situation opens for Pittsburgh even if they can’t secure the division.

AFC standings during Week 13

4. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
5. Los Angeles Chargers (7-4, 6-2 AFC)
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4, 4-2 AFC)
7. Buffalo Bills (7-4, 4-3 AFC)
8. Houston Texans (6-5)
9. Kansas City Chiefs (6-6, win over BAL)
10. Baltimore Ravens (6-6, loss to KC)

14. Cleveland Browns (3-8)
13. Las Vegas Raiders (2-9)
15. New York Jets (2-9)
16. Tennessee Titans (1-10)

AFC North standings during Week 13

Pittsburgh still has to play the Buffalo Bills this week and the Ravens can retake the lead in the AFC North with a Steelers loss. It will take a huge lift for the Bengals to get into the divisional conversation, but it isn’t crazy with Burrow back.

1. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
