The Pittsburgh Steelers Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons is interesting for a ton of reasons. Arthur Smith facing the team that fired him at the end of the 2023 season. Two veteran quarterbacks in new places, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins, looking to prove doubters wrong. An out-of-division matchup to begin the season.
But the most interesting thing is just how much unknown there is for Pittsburgh. Starting a season off against a new coaching staff. It’s not something the Steelers have experienced much in the Mike Tomlin era. And should Pittsburgh come away with a loss to Atlanta, it’ll be something they haven’t done in 30 years.
