You’ve made it, Steelers fans. After months of waiting, Pittsburgh has finally received its schedule for the 2024 regular season, a season that Steelers fans are eagerly anticipating for many reasons, including the arrival of nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson.
Wilson and his teammates have their work cut out for them, as the Steelers have the NFL’s third-toughest schedule based on last year’s results. It doesn’t help that Pittsburgh plays in a division where each team recorded a winning record in 2023. That could very well be the case again this year, especially if Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Browns signal caller Deshaun Watson manage to stay healthy.
Below is a complete breakdown of the Steelers’ schedule, including the top-five must-see games, game-by-game predictions, each opponents’ projected over/under win total for 2024 (courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook) as well as Pittsburgh’s complete schedule in its entirely.
Must-see games
1. Week 17 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Let’s start with the fact that this game is being played on Christmas, which is a good omen for Pittsburgh given their history of playing on Dec. 25. The Steelers are 2-0 on that date, with wins over the Ravens (2016) and Texans (2017).
Steelers fans will try to make things hostile for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose coming out party in the NFL came at the Steelers’ expense back in Week 2 of the 2018 season. This should be a big game as far as playoff scenarios are concerned.
2. Week 12 vs. Browns
The Ravens may have taken some of this matchup’s thunder, but there’s still no love lost when it comes to the Browns and Steelers. This should be a good, old fashioned AFC North game on primetime. Adding to the allure of this game is the one-on-one matchup between T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett for the unofficial title as the NFL’s best defensive player.
3. Week 5 vs. Cowboys
Just from a history…
