A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for Sept. 16.
KAREEM HUNT VISITING CHIEFS
The Kansas City Chiefs still look like the best team in the NFL, and if the Steelers want to make a run at another Super Bowl, they’ll probably have to dethrone the reigning champs. The Chiefs are currently dealing with some injury issues though, losing starting running back Isaiah Pacheco for a while due to a leg injury. However, it looks like they could be bringing in an old friend to supplement that loss.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs will be bringing running back Kareem Hunt in for a visit on Tuesday. Hunt was with the Chiefs in 2017 and 2018, having great success as a rookie before being released due to legal issues. Now, he could be brought back to help improve their rushing attack with Pacheco hurt. Pacheco should be healthy by the time the Steelers play the Chiefs, but if not, they could see a healthy dose of Hunt.
BOSWELL OUTSCORES GIANTS
This season has not been kind to the New York Giants so far. They’re 0-2, their quarterback, who’s on a big contract, looks awful, and their offense looks even worse than the Steelers. In fact, despite scoring more touchdowns than the Steelers so far, the Giants have still been outscored by Chris Boswell alone.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook on Twitter, Boswell scored 25 points by himself, while the Giants have only scored 24. Boswell has looked like one of the best kickers in the NFL this year, but that’s still hilarious and depressing. The Giants seem to be in for a long season.
BETTIS MEETS FANS
Jerome Bettis is a player who feels like he should’ve always been a Steeler. He was the heart of the 2005 Steelers team that won a Super Bowl and is forever immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He still has so much love for Steelers fans, too, as shown by a recent meet-and-greet he did.
As reported by WAVY TV 10 on YouTube, Bettis recently appeared in Rivers Casino in Portsmouth, VA. Although it wasn’t in Pennsylvania, it looks like there was a huge turnout for Bettis. He seemed very happy to see the black and gold well-represented.
