Their schedule will include four primetime matchups, including one on Thanksgiving game against the Baltimore Ravens, the defending AFC North champions. Their other primetime games will be against the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants, and the New Orleans Saints.

The regular season will close out on January 3 against the Cleveland Browns, which should a much-anticipated matchup. According to Sporting News, the Steelers have the second-easiest schedule in the NFL by the record. This past season, their opponents had a combined 117-139 record for a .457 winning percentage.

With Ben Roethlisberger reportedly fully healthy, the Steelers can certainly make a  for the AFC North title. Last season, Roethlisberger missed a majority of the season last season due to a right elbow injury.
