The Pittsburgh Steelers kick off their season by hosting the San Francisco 49ers at Acrisure Stadium. There are a number of great storylines in this game to watch – the most obvious being Kenny Pickett and Brock Purdy facing off for the first time being the two most successful quarterbacks from the 2022 draft class so far.
