A Look at the 2017 Steelers Schedule with a Glance at the Good and the Bad

The 2017 NFL Schedule is out as well as the 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule, and here’s a look at the slate for the upcoming season, with the home games in bold:

Sep. 10 at Cleveland Browns 1:00 PM

Sep. 17 Minnesota Vikings 1:00 PM

Sep. 24 at Chicago Bears 1:00 PM

Oct. 1 at Baltimore Ravens 1:00 PM

Oct. 8 Jacksonville Jaguars 1:00 PM

Nov. 12 at Indianapolis Colts 1:00 PM

Nov. 16 Tennessee Titans (Thu) 8:25 PM

Nov. 26 Green Bay Packers * 8:30 PM

Dec. 4 at Cincinnati Bengals (Mon) 8:30 PM

Dec. 10 Baltimore Ravens * 8:30 PM

Dec. 17 New England Patriots 4:25 PM

Dec. 25 at Houston Texans (Mon) 4:30 PM

Dec. 31 Cleveland Browns 1:00 PM

What’s Good about this Schedule: Back-to-Back home primetime games on November 16th and 10 days later on November 26th, and then three of the last four home are two keys for this team to repeat at AFC North Champs, with that odd Christmas Day game (which the NFL Said wouldn’t happen) in the mix against the Texans.

What’s Bad about this Schedule: Three of the first four on the road, but two of those against bad teams in the Browns and Bears, but that doesn’t mean the Steelers can just mail it in and assume they will win those matchups. This team needs to stay focused and get off to a hot start to make sure they repeat as the best in the North in 2017.
