Entering the Week 1 season opener between the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, there are quite a few intriguing storylines to watch. They include the return of Arthur Smith to Atlanta after being fired in January following three seasons as head coach, the matchup between close friends Mike Tomlin and Raheem Morris as head coaches, and two familiar faces making their debuts with new teams under center in Russell Wilson, assuming he is healthy enough to play Sunday, and Kirk Cousins.
It might not be the flashiest matchup of opening week, but Steelers-Falcons has a ton of storylines worth following.
