While the 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers may indeed have miles to go before they sleep during their journey to what we all hope ends in a February Super Bowl championship confetti shower in Minneapolis, fortunately a lot of those miles won’t be spent in the air on a plane.
According to a study by Delta Airlines via the Seattle Seahawks official website, the Steelers will travel the least number of miles during the 2017 regular season. The final count is 6,790 air miles, to be exact.
While the NFL rotating scheduling plays a big part in the Steelers lack of 2017 air miles, the fact that the 2016 team finished first in the AFC North resulted in them only needing to travel as far west as Kansas City during the 2017 regular season.
