The NFL released its schedules for all 32 teams yesterday, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, and naturally the league-wide community has spent its time since then pouring over every nuance imaginable within their assigned team’s slate of games.
We have already covered many of the specifics of the schedule that the Steelers have been handed on the site within hours of its being released. The first bit of leaked information, of course, was that they will indeed be the opening Thursday night opponents for the defending champion New England Patriots.
Not surprising is that Pittsburgh will be playing five primetime games.
