The publication of the NFL game plan traditionally ensures different reactions. So also this year. For example, the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers found hair in his own soup hours after the announcement.
Art Rooney II immediately reacted to the NFL schedule for the coming season on the website of his team. He was initially happy about the bye Week in week 5, which Pittsburgh expects after the International Game in Ireland.
“After the Ireland game we did not ask for a Bye Week. In the past, the league has tried to give the teams a Bye Week after the International Game. I don’t think that’s the rule, but it is not a bad method. Steelers-Opers.
The 72-year-old in turn took greater kick-off on the game approach for week 10. On this matchday, Pittsburgh denies a Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“We are not enthusiastic about the evening games so late in the season,” said Rooney. “It happens and it is not a big deal, but we don’t want to have too many evening games towards the end of the season. Of course I also pay attention to the long trips and how you shape yourself and unfortunately we have a Sunday evening game in Los Angeles. I am not enthusiastic about these evening games on the west coast.”
NFL: Steelers expect explosive duels
However, the rest of the game plan should certainly promise the Steelers boss. In addition to the general highlights of the upcoming NFL season, some games with special explosiveness for the AFC-North representative are on the program.
So Pittsburgh has to go to the week 1 at the New York Jets About ex-steelers quarters back Justin Fields compete. This duel also received an additional stimulus if Aaron Rodgers – in the past two years at the Green under contract – would soon join the Steelers. A-rod then also met the at the end of October Green Bay Packershis first team in the NFL.
For Pittsburgh, other interesting storylines also offer the games against the Seattle Seahawks (New access DK Metcalf just came from Washington) and against the Cleveland Browns (Steelers Errundenpick Kenny Pickett dares to restart).
