Steelers-49ers. In name recognition alone, it’s a heavyweight tilt.
The NFL on Fox is treating it that way in Week One, at least based on the coverage map and TV schedule from 506 Sports.
When the Steelers and 49ers kick off at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m., a large portion of the country will have the matchup on Fox telecast into their homes.

Of course, it helps that the 49ers are in California, creating the need to cover a lot of ground from Fox’s perspective.
