Steelers Have One of Toughest Schedules in NFL
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are walking into the 2024 season with one of the hardest strengths of schedule in the NFL. According to Yahoo Sports, Pittsburgh holds the third-strongest schedule this season, trailing just the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers opponents this season hold a .533 win percentage from 2023. Their schedule includes five playoff teams in the Ravens, Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, and their path through the AFC North - who all had winning records last season - does not help their case.
This season, the Steelers will face the Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Browns, Cowboys, Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants and the New York Jets at home. On the road, they'll take on the Falcons, Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, and their AFC North rivals.
Pittsburgh's schedule is set to be announced in May, revealing all of their 2024 dates. An opening week game in Denver against the Broncos seems to be a fan favorite, giving Russell Wilson an opportunity to face his old team right off the bat.
