The Steelers will open the 2026 season at home, a rare occurrence in recent years, and are 5.5-point favorites with the Falcons coming to town.

Porter questionable, not optimistic for deal
With a contract extension still not done with the Steelers, Joey Porter Jr. wouldn't commit to playing Sunday's season opener against the Falcons at Acrisure Stadium.

Rodgers-McCarthy relationship an advantage
The Steelers are healthy going into Sunday's season opener against the Falcons at Acrisure Stadium, but that health status hasn't come without players missing time during training camp. There is one advantage that can help make up for that: The relationship between Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy.
