It’s been pretty rare that the NFL’s schedulemakers don’t give the Pittsburgh Steelers the maximum allotment of five scheduled primetime games. This season will be one of those rare occurrences, with Pittsburgh on its initial schedule only penciled in to play four games in 2020 under the lights.
The first will be the season opener when they visit the New York Giants, and get a chance to see one of the best college players from the state in recent years, running back Saquon Barkley, who has become the prime mover of the Giants’ offense since Eli Manning’s decline.
