For all intents and purposes, the Steelers 2021 season begins on Saturday against the Detroit Lions
So let me clarify something right out of the gate: I realize that the Steelers game on Saturday against the Detroit Lions is a pre-season game; however, it is the third preseason game, which typically signifies that the players who will start the season opener will also start the third preseason game.
With that said, I fully expect that we will see the first appearance of Ben Roethlisberger, our franchise and future Hall of Fame QB.
