The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the 2020 season with a Monday Night Football victory over the Giants. Ben Roethlisberger was solid in his return, throwing for 3 TDs. This now brings the Steelers to 11-5-1 in season openers since Ben was drafted in 2004. Granted, Ben has not started all of those games, but over the last 16 seasons Steelers have used Week 1 victories to springboard themselves into playoff contention. During Ben’s tenure, only the Patriots (15), Packers (12), and Eagles (12) have more Week 1 victories than the Steelers. Here is a look back at the 16 previous Week 1 outings and how the Steelers fared that season.
