Welcome to The Black & Gold Daily Blitz with Jeff "Tito" Thitoff!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting at a disappointing 6-5 after losing to the Bears, putting their division lead at risk. Now, they face a pivotal Thanksgiving weekend matchup hosting the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen.

Tito breaks down why this team's success—and its playoff hopes—will be determined entirely by the defense, not the offense. With Aaron Rodgers trending as a "middling" quarterback, the defense, which has been the highest paid in the league, has to step up and deliver a consistent performance over the final six games.

In This Episode:

🏈 Bears Loss Aftermath: Analyzing the missed opportunities that let the Ravens back into the AFC North race.

🏈 The Defense's Role: Drawing comparisons to championship-winning teams carried by defense (Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco) to show why the Steelers' offense is not explosive enough.

🏈 Bills Preview: How the Steelers defense can pressure Josh Allen, who just got beat up by the Texans.

🏈 Playoff Scenario: Breaking down the daunting remaining schedule (vs. Bills, at Ravens (twice), at Detroit) and why the team must find a way to win one of those "shouldn't win" games to avoid a 9-8 record and missing the playoffs.

🏈 Hot Seat Talk: Is Mike Tomlin's incredible streak of non-losing seasons in jeopardy?

KEY MOMENTS: - Why the Defense, Not the Offense, Will Determine the Season - Is Aaron Rodgers a Midling Quarterback? - What the Steelers Defense Must Do to Josh Allen - Analyzing the Final 6 Games & Path to the Playoffs - Is Mike Tomlin's Job on the Line?

Jeff “Tito” Thitoff is back with another edition of The Black & Gold Daily Blitz Podcast, breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and what it really means for the AFC North race.

Tito dives into Jamar Chase’s one-game suspension for spitting on Jaylen Ramsey and how the league handled the appeal. Then it’s all Steelers: the defense scoring twice, the ongoing mystery of an up-and-down unit, and why this team will live and die with that side of the ball.

Plus, an in-depth look at Aaron Rodgers’ wrist fracture, Mason Rudolph’s solid relief effort, and how Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell are shaping the backfield. Tito also walks through the remaining schedule - Bears, Bills, Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, Ravens - and explains why the trip to Chicago feels like a must-win as the Ravens lurk right behind in the AFC North.

On this episode of The Black & Gold Daily Blitz Podcast with Jeff “Tito” Thitoff, Tito calls it like it is: Pittsburgh’s matchup vs. Cincinnati is a must-win. After dropping 3 of 4, the Steelers’ AFC North grip is fading while Baltimore surges. Tito breaks down the wildly inconsistent defense, the bizarre stat of 5+ takeaways but only 7-point wins, and why this unit—the league’s highest-paid defense—has to carry the day.

We hit the Aaron Rodgers outlook, whether the staff can actually evaluate QBs, and the roster decisions that keep biting: Pickett, Pickens, Najee, OL investments. Plus, the remaining schedule, playoff paths, and the hard questions facing Mike Tomlin and the front office if the division slips away.
