The NFL announced the complete 2022 schedule on Thursday, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are officially set to kick off their 2022 season at the Cincinnati Bengals at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. This, of course, is a divisional game and their next one will come in Week 3 at the Cleveland Browns for Thursday Night Football.
Pittsburgh finished 9-7-1 last season and found their way into the playoffs, but it was a short run with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card round. Ben Roethlisberger retired after the season, and the franchise hopes they found their quarterback of the future as they brought in Kenny Pickett in Round 1 of the NFL Draft. The Steelers signed center Mason Cole, guard James Daniels and right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor to three year deals this offseason to strengthen the offensive line. They also added free agent quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Pittsburgh lost JuJu Smith-Schuster to free agency but used a second round pick to get wideout George Pickens.
All times listed are Eastern.
