The NFL announced on Thursday that they will release the 2022 regular season schedule on May 12 and with that, there’s already quite a bit of speculation as to what the Pittsburgh Steelers’ slate of 17 games will look like by week. As usual, a lot of focus will be on when and where the Steelers’ 2022 Week 1 game will take place and with good reason. Why? Well, the Steelers have now gone seven consecutive seasons with their Week 1 game being played on the road.
While probability elements would easily lead one to believe that 2022 will finally be the year that the Steelers string of Week 1 road games will finally come to an end, the Pittsburgh Pirates schedule does suggest that might not ultimately be the case.
