The Pittsburgh Steelers 2021 schedule has officially been released. Even though the opponents have been known for some time, knowing exact dates, times, and locations for matchups make a difference when it comes to the expectations throughout the season. For example, the Steelers traveling to Minnesota for a Thursday night game after hosting the Ravens the previous Sunday makes for a much more difficult contest than if they were making the trip the week following their bye.
Although we are still 12 weeks away from the Hall of Fame Game, and 17 weeks away from the Thursday night kickoff of the NFL season, predicting the outcome of each game gives a baseline starting point for expectations for 2021.
