Steelers 2015 Schedule Released

The NFL has released the 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers schedule. As you can see, it’s pretty brutal.

steelers schedule

The Steelers face the Patriots in Foxborough to kick off the season, and that will be without RB Le’Veon Bell. Not that he’s the playmaker Bell is, but the Patriots will also be without RB LeGarrette Blount. Bell will miss the 49ers and the Rams games, but fortunately won’t be sidelined for any divisional matchups.

The Steelers once again have the maximum 5 primetime games allowed by the league, two of which are Thursday night games (Patriots and vs. Ravens). The Steelers are 2-6 on the road on Thursday nights.

The bye comes later in the season this year- week 11, which is good, because the toughest stretch of the schedule comes following the bye week starting with the Steelers traveling to Seattle. The team requested to have their west coast games be consecutive this year, but it appears the NFL wasn’t sympathetic.

 

The Steelers only have 1 of their 6 divisional games before November 1st.
