When it comes to the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers have historically had an advantage when it comes to the distance they have to travel. Given the friendly geographic nature of the AFC North, division games are never a big issue. But the Steelers also seem to catch a break when it comes to non-division games as well.
This season, when looking at the full list of teams based on how far they have to travel for games, the disparity is remarkable. Pittsburgh will travel 6,442 miles this season for games. This is a full 2,000 miles less than the Detroit Lions, who are the next closest. Pittsburgh doesn’t even have to leave their own time zone for any games.
