The Pittsburgh Steelers schedule, while not official, looks pretty rough with the leaked version now out in full. The Steelers reportedly don’t play a divisional game until Week 11, meaning six of their final eight games all come against AFC North opponents. It doesn’t sound ideal, but Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio thinks it’s something that would benefit the Steelers.
Appearing on The PM Team on 93.7 The Fan, Florio explained that given the changes made to Pittsburgh’s roster and at offensive coordinator, not playing their divisional opponents until late could be a benefit.
