The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the hardest schedules in the NFL for the upcoming 2024 season.
They have an easy start with games against the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers but six of their final eight games are against AFC North teams. Heck, they have a four-week stretch where they play four AFC North games in a row.
The other two games in their final eight games will be against the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams will be Super Bowl contenders this season so the Steelers will be up a creek to end the year.
Colin Cowherd has also seen their schedule and thinks it’s the toughest one he’s ever seen.
“That is the toughest schedule I have ever seen, Thanksgiving on, in league history,” Cowherd said.
The schedule may be tough but nobody in the league is going to feel sorry for them. They’re going to have to go out there and beat some great teams if they want to make the playoffs again.
The Steelers finished the 2023 season with a 10-7 record before they lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs.
