49ers insider Matt Maiocco also added, “The fact the Steelers are back in talks with the 49ers toward a possible Brandon Aiyuk trade shows all sides have a willingness to get something done. The negotiations and conversations continue…”
The #Steelers and #49ers are involved in talks over WR Brandon Aiyuk again, per source—as @AdamSchefter reported first.
Adding: I’m told they’re “working on it. It’s a lot of back and forth.” https://t.co/komawXe1Hf

🏈 The Denver Broncos will wear their “Summer White” jerseys against the Steelers in Week 2. The Steelers will be forced to wear their black jerseys.
The Broncos will wear white at home in Week 2 against the Steelers.
It's smart. Force the Steelers to stand under the sun on the east sideline on a (likely) warm-to-hot day in their black jerseys. Tampa Bay wears white at home for much of the season for the same reason…

1989 AFC Wild Card
NEW ANGLE of Rod Woodson’s OT play
This is the first angle that shows just how right Trumpy was when he said, “White’s mistake is that he bounces outside.”
He likely gains at least a few yards if he runs inside.@RodWoodson26 pic.twitter.com/3Av6SenI7l
