And while we don’t yet know the Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule, we do know their opponents, and this is how I would rank all 14 of those teams from worst to best. 14. Cleveland Browns While the Steelers haven’t swept the Browns since the 2021 season, they also haven’t lost a regular season home game to Cleveland since 2003.

Plus, it’s likely that they will see Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders in both games, which will be the easiest quarterback matchup they’ll have all season. 13. Atlanta Falcons Atlanta has some tremendous talent on offense, highlighted by running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London.

That said, their quarterback is Tua Tagovailoa, who the Miami Dolphins are paid $99. 2 million to not have on their team. Their defense doesn’t have any true game-wreckers, either.
