We are less than a month to the start of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp and soon the regular season will follow. The NFL once again handed the Steelers a wild ride of a schedule and here are five thoughts on this year's slate of games.
The NFL loves to manufacture drama between the Steelers and Ravens. Once again, the AFC North rivals will square off in the final game of the season and Pittsburgh will play Baltimore twice in the final five weeks.
There was a rumor that the Steelers would take on the Carolina Panthers on Christmas. When the official schedule came out, the game is listed as a Week 16 game but date and time to be determined so you might be celebrating Christmas with the Steelers after all.
Pittsburgh is one of those teams that travels well and have fans everywhere so it makes perfect sense to have plenty of prime-time games. We predicted five prime-time games but we **** ume they lost one for the sake of the Paris roadtrip.
It's a rare occurrence for the Steelers to get a home game in Week One but this season, Pittsburgh will welcome the new-look Atlanta Falcons to town. Going back to 2007, this will be only the seventh time the Steelers have been at home in Week One.
