When the Pittsburgh Steelers kick off their season against the Atlanta Falcons a week from today, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will be returning to the place that fired him just eight months ago. You can bet that Smith is putting a little extra thought into this matchup. He seems to enjoy his new home in Pittsburgh, but being fired has to give at least a little extra motivation.
I got this idea from a listener of our The Depot Dive podcast, Austin in Atlanta. Is there any advantage for the Steelers having Arthur Smith against his old team?
