Fewer prime time games could help Steelers in 2020

One of the most overlooked part of looking at a team's schedule is not only taking into account how many prime time games a team has, but exactly where and when those games occur.

There was some surprise when the Steelers were allotted only four prime time games when the schedule was released two weeks ago. NFL teams are capped at having five scheduled prime time games, and as one of the premiere franchises in the league, the Steelers typically get that many.

But having just four this season could be a blessing for the Steelers this season.
