We are back for the final game before the start of the regular season and the Pittsburgh Steelers will soon take the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta against the Falcons. The new NFL schedule has a tradeoff, and teams with two away games in the preseason get that extra home game during the regular season since there are 17 total games on the schedule which is advantageous for the team this season.
The Falcons have already announced they plan to ‘park their starters’, and there is a gap week between the preseason and the start of the regular season, so it will be three long weeks in between when the Steelers’ starters play against another team’s starting unit.
