Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule

The Steelers have the 12th-toughest schedule in the NFL this year as they find themselves in a division with Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Deshaun Watson. The schedule-makers hardly did rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett any favors with the early-season slate as he faces a gauntlet of high-level defenses. Road games against divisional foes in the Bengals and Browns won’t be easy for the Steelers early on, nor will games against top Super Bowl favorites in the Bills (road) and Buccaneers (home) in Weeks 5 and 6. The Steelers get their first of five primetime games against the Browns in Week 3, and they play the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. With that difficult early-season slate, the Week 9 bye won’t come soon enough for the Steelers. The back half of the schedule opens up more, but it could be a long year for the Steelers as they adjust to their new rookie quarterback.
