The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 schedule might not be as difficult as last season’s was, especially that brutal three-game stretch around Christmas. But this season’s schedule for the Black and Gold will be difficult in one sense: they’ll face a number of great quarterbacks.
Based on ESPN.com’s position rankings built around an anonymous survey featuring executives, scouts and coaches, the Steelers will match up against five of the top 10 quarterbacks from the list.
That includes two matchups each (barring injury) against Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, as well as matchup against Detroit’s Jared Goff, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert, and Buffalo’s Josh Allen.
