A Steelers Depot daily segment. A quick hit of some Pittsburgh Steelers-related stories that may not require a complete article, but nuggets worth mentioning and passing on to you guys.
Your Depot After Dark for Dec. 30.
HARRISON AND HADEN PHONE CALL
While the Cleveland Browns might not be the Steelers’ biggest rival, they’ve still been a pain in the neck over the years. Former NFL corner Joe Haden knows that well. He played for both the Browns and the Steelers. That makes it a little more interesting for him when the two teams play now. He poked fun at James Harrison after the Browns’ recent win over the Steelers, too.
The two’s podcast, Deebo and Joe, posted a video on Twitter showing Haden and Harrison talking on the phone during the game. The Steelers’ loss left Harrison frustrated, but Haden didn’t seem too bummed out. Harrison even went so far as to get in his vehicle and act like he was going to drive to Haden’s house to give him a piece of his mind in person.
STEFON DIGGS TROUBLE
The Steelers haven’t secured a playoff spot yet, but if they get in, they’ll have a chance to compete for a Super Bowl. However, they might have to get through the New England Patriots to do that. While the Steelers beat the Patriots earlier in the year, New England has been on a roll since then, currently being the number two seed.
However, one of the Patriots’ best offensive weapons could be in some trouble. Yahoo Sports shared on Twitter that Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is being charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. It’s unclear if this will result in Diggs missing any time in the postseason. It’s a situation to monitor in the AFC, though.

GINGERBREAD STEELERS STADIUM
The holiday season is winding down, and so is the NFL regular season. There’s only one week left, but the Steelers have a lot to play for. They’ll make or break their playoff hopes against the Baltimore Ravens. Hopefully, they can capture a little leftover holiday magic.
One fan took the time during the holiday season to mix their creative skills with their love for the Steelers. The team shared a video on its YouTube channel showing a version of Acrisure Stadium built out of gingerbread. It’s a neat creation. We’ll see if fans can celebrate at the real Acrisure Stadium this week.
