The Pittsburgh Steelers got no favors from the NFL in their 2024 schedule.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers got no favors from the NFL. A team with plenty of hope and expectations won't have an easy path to the playoffs.The Steelers came into the schedule release with one of the top three strengths of the schedule in 2024. Once the game-by-game schedule was released, it became a reality how difficult this run would be.
It all starts with Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons. Truthfully, even if Cousins comes back firing on all shots from his achilles injury, this could be worse. Opening against the Falcons is a game the Steelers can win. And from there, a revenge game for Russell Wilson in Denver isn't too tall of a task, either.The Steelers round out the first half of their year against the Cowboys, Raiders, Jets and Giants. Heading into a Week 9 Bye Week, a winning record is doable - and a must.
The back half of the schedule gets rough. The Steelers end the year against the Commanders, Ravens , Browns , Eagles, Chiefs, and Bengals . They hit the road in Week 12 against Cleveland and follow through with a trip to Cincinnati. Then, they head back home to take on the Browns again, go to Philadelphia, Baltimore—and three days later, playing a Christmas Day game on a Wednesday, they take on the Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium.The Steelers are viewed as a winning team until their not.
In years past, the Steelers struggled against teams they shouldn't have. With the final stretch the 2024 season presents, that isn't an option. Win when you should win is the motto this season - and one Pittsburgh is going to live, or die, from.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
