Steelers suffer a major loss despite beating the Browns following a serious-looking injury to team captain

Oct 12, 2025117 views

Danny Smith is a national treasure in the Pittsburgh area. The special teams coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers is known for chewing about 10 sticks of gum at one time and always being full of energy.

He’s also known for coordinating one of the best special team units in the league. You think of Boswell and the kicking game, the blocked field goals, heck, even Corliss Waitman selling the running into the kicker against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

But the coverage units are what make the Steelers’ special teams so valuable. And now, those units may be without their special teams captain for a while.

Killebrew was down and writhing in pain for a while before the broadcast cut away. He was able to walk off with some assistance, which is obviously much better than the cart coming out, but time will tell how serious things are.

If the injury is as bad as it appears, the Steelers not only lose their special teams captain and locker room leader, but also defensive back depth. Jalen Ramsey came into the game banged up, Darius Slay left with a shoulder injury, and then Brandin Echols and Joey Porter Jr. were both injured in the fourth quarter.

The safety position and defensive backfield as a whole is deep, but someone has to step up for Killebrew in case of an extended absence. Of course, if it got to the point that Killebrew was entering the game as a traditional safety (which we have seen in recent years) the Steelers certainly would be in a world of trouble.

In any case, the Steelers are now on to Cincinnati to quote former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. With a short turnaround, the Steelers will be tasked with taking down a desperate Cincinnati Bengals squad in order to try and put a stranglehold on the division.

In a world where athletes often make headlines for their words, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is making one for his silence — and the incredible compassion behind it. After the tragic explosion in Tennessee that left multiple families grieving, Allen didn’t post anything on social media. No interviews, no cameras, no spotlight — just quiet action that spoke louder than any press conference ever could. 💔 According to local officials, Allen personally covered funeral and recovery expenses for several affected families, sent food and emergency supplies to their community, and even helped fund mental health services for children who lost loved ones in the disaster. When word eventually got out, Allen’s response melted hearts across the league: “I don’t do things like this for attention. Those families lost everything — the least I could do was remind them that people still care. Football gives us a platform, but if we don’t use it to help others when they’re hurting, then what’s the point?” 🕊️ Fans and fellow players have flooded social media with praise, calling Allen “the soul of Buffalo” and “a leader with heart, not just stats.” Even rival teams’ supporters admitted — “It’s impossible not to respect him.” While Josh Allen is known for his cannon arm and fearless playmaking, this moment reminded everyone that his greatest strength might be something else entirely — his humanity. 🏈 Josh Allen: A True MVP — Most Valuable Person. 💙❤️
