DK: Can't skim the surface of this subject today

The Steelers will open their 2026 NFL schedule today at Acrisure Stadium against the Falcons, and in doing so, they'll be following daylong downpours yesterday, a Pitt game by nightfall, and a lengthy history of concerns and complaints about the playing surface.

Next Opponent: No edge for the Falcons?

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.

Halicke: Record prediction for 2026 season

This is it, folks. The NFL season gets underway tonight with a rematch of Super Bowl LX. The Steelers don't kick off their season until Sunday afternoon against the Falcons at Acrisure Stadium, but it's time to take a stab at how this team might fare in 2026.
