The NFL has released its 2017 regular-season schedule. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Breakdown: The Steelers must adjust their sleep patterns starting in mid-November, when they start a slate of four straight prime-time games from Weeks 11-14, followed by the New England Patriots at home in Week 15. This will be a crucial stretch coming off what looks like a manageable schedule for the first two-and-a-half months. In all, the Steelers play five prime-time games -- the maximum allowed for a season -- in a seven-game stretch, including three in Heinz Field.
