The NFL plans to televise five preseason games nationally including the Hall of Fame game. The Pittsburgh Steelers will not have one of those nationally televised games.
Here is the breakdown of the matchups per ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter
Hall of Fame game – New York Jets vs Cleveland Browns
Week 2 – Baltimore Ravens vs Washington Commanders
Week 3 – Indianapolis Colts vs Philadelphia Eagles
Week 3 – Detroit Lions vs Carolina Panthers
Week 3 – Houston Texas vs New Orleans Saints
It’s no coincidence each of those Week 3 matchups will include one of the first three quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.
Pittsburgh will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons in consecutive weeks in the preseason with the Bills game being the only one at home.
