Steelers Considering Deal With Ex-Jaguars WR Who Set NFL Playoff Record — A Potential Spark for Super Bowl Dreams

The Pittsburgh Steelers are no strangers to bold moves when it comes to retooling their offense, and the latest buzz suggests they could be eyeing a reunion story that would shake the AFC North.

According to league chatter, the Steelers have expressed interest in wide receiver Gabe Davis, the former Buffalo Bills standout best remembered for his four-touchdown explosion in a single playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs — a performance that remains etched in NFL history books.

Davis, 26, spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars before injuries derailed his impact and led to his release. Now, with his future hanging in the balance, whispers are growing louder that Pittsburgh may explore a short-term “prove-it” deal — banking on Davis’ ability to stretch the field and bring a big-play element to a young and evolving offense.

For the Steelers, who are still searching for a consistent deep threat to complement George Pickens, Davis could represent both a gamble and an opportunity. His size (6’2”, 210 lbs), knack for clutch moments, and playoff pedigree make him an intriguing target as training camp storylines shift toward final roster shaping.

“Sometimes a fresh start in the right culture is what a player needs,” one AFC executive noted. “Davis still has that playmaker’s DNA. The question is whether Pittsburgh wants to roll the dice now.”

While no official agreement has been reported, the possibility of black and gold negotiating with the man behind one of the most legendary postseason performances in recent memory is enough to ignite conversation across Steelers Nation.

If talks advance, Davis could find himself stepping into a locker room that demands toughness and resilience — traits he has flashed before and may need once more to resurrect his career.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
