Good morning, Pittsburgh.

A study by StorageCafe has ranked Pittsburgh as the third most walkable city in the nation, citing dense neighborhoods, a strong public transit system, and pedestrian-friendly upgrades (like lowered speed limits and raised crosswalks).

The report assessed 180 cities and noted that nearly one quarter of local workers commute without using a car.

The win boosted team confidence and highlighted its stout defense while questions remain about its offensive identity.

The Steelers allowed 470 total yards and 328 passing yards as the Bengals beat them 33—31 at PayCor Stadium on Thursday night.
