The Athletic recently put out a quarterback tier list, and Mike Sando went deeper, breaking down each team’s strength of schedule when looking at opposing quarterbacks. When looking at opposing quarterback strength, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the 13th-hardest schedule in the NFL, largely due to their division slate.
“Only the Raiders face a more difficult division schedule of opposing quarterbacks than the Steelers are scheduled to face. It’s not all bad for Pittsburgh. Drawing the AFC South and NFC West in the rotation, plus a lower-rated 17th opponent in the Packers’ Love, helped even things out,” Sando writes.
