The Steelers will open on the road Sunday, Sept. 11, at Paul Brown Stadium where they will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a 1 p.m. kickoff.

The Steelers don’t play the Baltimore Ravens until Week 14 and will face them twice in a four-week span.

The Steelers end the season with games at Baltimore and against Cleveland Tampa Bay and quarterback Tom Brady, who came out of retirement to play in a 23rd season and third with the Buccaneers, visit Pittsburgh on Oct. 16

Be nice if Brady got ruffed a little in Pittsburgh.

Effyou, so glad you posted this schedule post for all to see!

Should have hired Cam Hayward, Schedule Protector.

Seems apparent to me that the NFL schedule-makers have a hate boner for the Steelers.

I'm actually good with starting against Cincy on the road. First, we will be an underdog (see Buffalo, last year). Second, its the road game against them, we wouldn't be expected to win that one anyway. So, nothing to lose. If we have our offense, and act together by then, we could surprise them. Of course, there's a lot of work to do. New QB, possibly attempting to fully implement the Canada system - so it might not gel yet - but time will tell. I am feeling rather confident heading into this season.
