PITTSBURGH — The Steelers will open their 2022 regular season on the road against the defending AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals, but will play one of the NFL’s marquee games at home when they celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the Immaculate Reception against the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Eve in prime time.
The Steelers will open their home schedule in Week 2 against Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots on Sept. 18.
It is the eighth consecutive year the Steelers will open their season away from home. They are 4-2-1 in the previous seven road openers. The NFL released the regular season schedules for all 32 teams Thursday night.
