There’s nothing better than AFC North football. The most competitive division in football, the only group that saw all four teams finish above .500 last season. But for those who enjoy the show, you’ll have to wait. The Pittsburgh Steelers won’t play their first divisional game until November 17, a Week 11 home game against the Baltimore Ravens. Six of the team’s final eight regular season games are against the North, critical matchups likely to determine the fate of the Steelers’ season.
Commenting on the schedule following the official release Wednesday night, Team President Art Rooney II admitted it’s a quirky layout.
