The Pittsburgh Steelers have a change to their 2020 regular season schedule. Originally slated to face the Washington Redskins in Week 12 at Heinz Field, the Steelers will now be hosting “The Washington Football Team”

Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.
