The 2017 NFL season is around the corner and every team is now on full-speed at training camps. The preseason is finally here so we bring you a breakdown of every team. It is the turn of the Pittsburgh Steelers, so here are the things that you need to know... Steelers at training camp at Latrobe PA - steelers.com The Pittsburgh Steelers exited the 2016 campaign at the expenses of the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, just one game short of the Super Bowl. In that time, the stellar running back Le'Veon Bell was sidelined because of a groin injury, and that was one of the main reasons of the ineffectiveness of the late offensive play in the game. Now, the same player is holding out from training camp because he has not signed the franchise tag that the team offered and rejected the contract that reportedly would have paid him something around the 12 million dollar figure. It is unclear when Bell is going to show up for practice, or if he is going to s

After losing just their first game in the campaign, the Mayas never got defeated again and won EIGHT games in a row, including the championship match. That record speaks about discipline and consistency, surely the things that best define the philosophy of this team. Now, they have made history in the young league as back-to-back champions and clearly are the best example of professionalism that the fans want to enjoy every Sunday from now on. In front of them they had no easy rival and the title came after a hard fought battle. The Saltillo Dinos stepped into the field with hunger and proving that they had what was needed to knock-down the defending champions. Specially with their defensive play that was so effective when the

NFL Draft 2017: First Round Picks

NFL Draft 2017 | usatoday.com ROUND 1 1. Cleveland Browns | DE Myles Garrett | Texas A&M  Quick Take: The Cleveland Browns take the best player in this draft class hoping to turn around the team's fate for the 2017 season. It is going to be a long road for the Browns, but Garrett could easily become the foundation for something great. Garrett is bringing a powerful edge to a much needed defense and he will be hunting Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger and Andy Dalton in the AFC North. DE Myles Garrett | Houston Chronicle credit: Butch Dill 2. Chicago Bears (from San Francisco 49'ers) | QB Mitchell Trubisky | North Carolina Quick take: The Bears shocked the draft as they traded up to take Trubisky giving away two picks this year and a third-rounder for the 2018 draft. Some analysts did not think that this year QB class was rich enough to take one in the top 5, however it seems that the Bears were comfortable with what they saw in Trubisky who now will

In the first half it was a very close match as it was expected, neither team had a clear advantage in top of the other. But the second half was completely in the side of the Mayas whom put the pedal to the metal and never turn back again, displaying a powerful offense that destroyed the aspirations of an Eagles comeback. The Eagles started their attack rotating their three quarterbacks in the first series but without success, they abandoned quickly the strategy to stick with Raúl Mateos (No. 18) for the entire first half. Their first flirting with the end-zone came short after a 9-play series that ended with a missed Field Goal. As I stated in the preview for this game, the Eagles needed to take advantage of every opportunity that the Mayas gave them and score points, if not, they were going to dig i

They only managed to win two games in the season and the Raptors were the clear favorites to advance to the final. Yet, the games in the regular season are a complete different story than the playoffs. Here, the record really does not matter that much and the teams step into the field to play for life or death. That was something that the Dinos got very clear and built up their game-plan exactly for that. It was the third time (two in a row) that these teams faced each other, so it was everything about intense film-studying and preparation. It was not an easy game for anybody given that the mistakes were the most consistent thing in the day. The Dinos opened the offensive series with a fumble that led to the first and only touchdown for the Raptors squad. After a couple of pen

These game will define the second and last honorary guest that will be playing for the Tazón México II (TMII) trophy. Both teams know each other very well as they have been building a strong divisional rivalry throughout the two seasons of the league. Back in February (week 1), the Eagles handed the first and only loss to the Mayas with a score of 33-21. However, the Mayas made the right adjustments to never be defeated again and closed the season as the favorites to repeat as champions. Their second meeting (week 5) was a truly epic match that was defined in the last seconds. The Mayas prevented a furious comeback by the Eagles and took away the victory in what was probably the best game of the 2017 seaso
