NFL Exec Says Steelers’ ‘Schedule Was Built For Coach Tomlin’

QB Aaron Rodgers did not sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers (or anyone, for that matter) before the Steelers officially unveiled their 2025 schedule. That led to some interesting decisions made by the NFL when it came to scheduling the Steelers. They play Rodgers’ previous two teams, the New York Jets and the Green Bay Packers.

The Steelers head to New York to take on the Jets in Week 1. In Week 8, the Steelers welcome the Packers to Pittsburgh. The big difference in terms of the schedule? The Steelers-Jets matchup is a 1 PM kickoff, while the Packers game will be on Sunday Night Football.
