The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs this past season on a Christmas Day game, falling on a Wednesday. Given the contortions the NFL pulled to finagle such a thing, it’s safe to say that Christmas Day games are here to say. And so, too, believes The Athletic reporter Mike DeFabo, is the Steelers’ presence on such days.
Speaking on 93.7 The Fan recently, DeFabo talked about the Steelers’ efforts to expand their brand. That includes their recent campaign to host the first NFL regular-season game in Ireland, which is finally official. “They are one of the premiere teams in the league, even if their performance in the playoffs doesn’t suggest that”, he argued.
