Steelers remain underdogs heading into Week 1 showdown against Falcons

The Steelers will begin their regular season with a matchup in Atlanta against the Falcons on Sunday afternoon (1 p.m. ET, Fox).

Pittsburgh enters Week 1 as a much different team than the one that lost in the Wild Card round of the playoffs in January. The quarterback room is completely changed, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields replacing Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. The offensive line has seen extensive turnover, as has the secondary. Arthur Smith is entering his first year as offensive coordinator.

The new-look Steelers, however, looked just like the old ones in a disappointing preseason.
