LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — No helicopter swooping in for a wind-swept landing. No Rolls Royce wrapped in black-and-gold complete with a chauffeur in full uniform.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Desperately needing a win, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin went for the jugular with a fake punt call late in the fourth quarter against the Saints.

Upback Roosevelt Nix came up just short, and so did the Steelers in an excruciating, infuriating 31-28 loss Sunday that may strangle their playoff hopes.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden saw the ball floating toward him, Rob Gronkowski bearing down on him, stretched out every inch of his 5-foot-11 frame and hoped for the best.

For once, the first time in a while, the best actually happened for the erratic Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The end came quickly in Cleveland for Joe Haden, a stark reminder that the NFL is a business. The Browns were rebuilding again in the summer of 2017, and having a cornerback in his late 20s making eight figures didn't exactly fit the plan, fiscally or otherwise.

For the first time in his football life, Haden felt adrift.

The two-time Pro Bowler understood his final two seasons in Cleveland were marred by injury and inconsistent play.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden knows from distractions and disappointment. Call it the byproduct of spending the first seven seasons of your career in Cleveland.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden understands how it looks. Spend an afternoon keeping the NFL's leading wide receiver in check and you're bound to get all the credit.

Yet the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback understands he didn't exactly shut down Atlanta's Julio Jones during a dominant 41-17 win on Sunday all by himself.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — It was not the way Ben Roethlisberger would draw it up, but the Pittsburgh Steelers will take it.

In desperate need of a win, the two-time defending AFC North champions capped a tumultuous week in which star receiver Antonio Brown made headlines by shouting at an assistant coach on the sidelines and getting into a spat on social media with a 30-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will be a little short-handed as they prepare for their home opener against Kanas City.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, cornerback Joe Haden and guard David DeCastro could all miss practice time after getting dinged up in a season-opening tie in Cleveland.

Roethlisberger is dealing with a right (throwing) elbow issue, Haden has a hamstring problem and DeCastro fractured one of his hands during the four-hour marathon in a monsoon.

LATROBE, Pa. (AP) — Artie Burns and Joe Haden don't believe the Pittsburgh Steelers have a clear-cut No. 1 cornerback.

The two feel they share that role.

Haden has been a top cornerback in the league throughout his career and Burns, a 2016 first-round pick, feels like he's starting to come into his own as he enters his third season. The two hope a full offseason and training camp together can help a young group of Steelers defensive backs regain some swagger.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — JuJu Smith-Schuster didn't catch a snap of the 2017 AFC championship game.

Life out in Los Angeles was just a little too hectic as the wide receiver prepared for the NFL draft.

Martavis Bryant skipped out on it too, in part because of the pain of missing out while serving a one-year suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy was a bit too acute.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — For vastly different reasons, two of the Steelers veteran starters were prevented from practicing fully or playing in games during December.

That changes this week — and Marcus Gilbert and Joe Haden couldn't be happier.

"I'm super, super excited," said Haden, the cornerback whose broken fibula last month interrupted his first season with the Steelers.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin is ready to talk about the New England Patriots.

The fact the Pittsburgh Steelers coach can include cornerback Joe Haden in the discussion is a bonus.

Haden will attempt to practice for the AFC North champions this week, barely a month removed from a fractured left leg that appeared to put his season in jeopardy.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden's career revival in Pittsburgh is on hold, though maybe for not as long as the first-place Steelers feared.

While the veteran cornerback's broken left leg will keep him out for Thursday night's visit by Tennessee, the team remains hopeful Haden can return at some point in the season. Pittsburgh eyes a run at a second straight division title and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden spent his first few weeks in Pittsburgh trying to fit into a new locker room after spending seven seasons in Cleveland.

The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback had little trouble adjusting. Still, he couldn't help but think something was missing.

"I haven't felt like I've made too many splash plays," Haden said. "I felt like I've been doing my job, staying on top, not really getting beat. But you always, as a corner, you always want to get your hand on the ball."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The defensive game plan for Joe Haden was always pretty simple for the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback during his time Cleveland, particularly whenever the Browns faced Cincinnati. All Haden had to do before every snap was locate Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green coming out of the huddle, then shadow Green wherever he went.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The noise around Antonio Brown can become deafening at times.

Livestreaming from the locker room. Adopting an alternate persona. The tribute cleats that also happen to run afoul of league policy. The over-the-top touchdown celebrations that typically end with a letter from the commissioner's office ending up in his stall tucked in the corner of the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers made an uncharacteristic open-market splurge when they lavished Joe Haden with a $27 million contract on the eve of the regular season firm in the belief the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback could give the secondary a needed jolt.

The least Haden figures he could do in return is participate in the NFL locker room version of trickle-down economics

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers coach Mike Tomlin believes his team's hectic final week of the preseason had everything to do with the NFL's decision to move from two roster cut downs to just one and nothing to do with some sort of change in mindset heading into 2017.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cornerback Joe Haden wished to go to a place where he felt wanted and had a chance to make the playoffs.

He believes he's found both with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 28-year-old Haden joined the Steelers for their preseason game Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, but did not play after signing a three-year, $27 million contract the day before. He beamed with delight talking about his new team.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Haden only needed a few hours to find a team that wanted him.

It's a squad he's very familiar with.

Goodbye, Cleveland. Hello, Pittsburgh.

Cut earlier in the day by the Browns after seven seasons, the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback signed a three-year, $27 million contract Wednesday with the rival Steelers, who are giving the 28-year-old a chance to exact some revenge on a team that doesn't think he can play anymore.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Haden needed a job, a change of scenery and a chance at a Super Bowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were more than happy to give the longtime Cleveland Browns cornerback a shot at all three.

The Steelers signed Haden to a three-year contract on Wednesday night just hours after the Browns granted Haden his release.

Haden, a two-time Pro Bowler, gives the defending AFC North champions an upgrade in the secondary in their bid to chase down Super Bowl champion New England.
