A history of Steelers Week 2 home openers at Heinz Field

The Pittsburgh Steelers will play their first game at Heinz Field of 2020 in Week 2. Since the facility opened in 2001, the Steelers home opener has landed on Week 2 nine times. Sunday will mark six consecutive times that the Steelers home opener lands on the second week of the season.

In these games the Steelers hold a 6-3 record, and only one of these games didn't feature Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. While the Steelers are on a two game losing skid in this scenario, they historically defeat their opponents by a wide margin.
