Ladies and gentlemen, the 2021 NFL schedule is officially here. With the draft in the books and most of the rosters virtually locked and loaded for the fall, we can finally keep our eyes on the season. The AFC North in particular promises a lot of intrigue this year: three teams are leaving the playoff season. The 2021 Steelers season promises to be full of intrigue as Najee Harris joins on running back and Ben Roethlisberger returns for his 18th (and final?) Season. Here’s a full breakdown of the 17 game schedule, including key matchups and a season forecast:

Steelers key games

Week 13 against ravens: Alejandro Villanueva’s move to Baltimore added even more fuel to this fiery rivalry. The Steelers won the season last year and are expected to continue winning against Lamar Jackson in 2021.
Week 8 at Browns: Rest assured the Steelers have already circled this game on their calendar. After all, Cleveland ended the 2020 season in Pittsburgh due to his 48:37 win at Heinz Field during the wildcard round of the AFC playoffs.
Week 14 with the Vikings: The Steelers’ last six games include five games against teams going to the playoffs in 2020. The only team that didn’t, the Vikings, owned one of the NFL’s toughest crimes, led by Dalvin Cook. This game, just four days after a game against the Ravens, won’t be easy.

Steeler’s toughest matchup

Week: 16 | Date: December 26th | Time: 4:25 pm
Opponent: at the Kansas City Chiefs

The Steelers only faced Patrick Mahomes once before 2021, and the result wasn’t pretty. The upcoming league MVP fired six touchdown passes to give the Steelers a 42:37 loss in Week 2 of the 2018 season. The Steelers’ defense must no doubt be better this time around.

Steelers predicted overall victory

2021 record forecast: 10-7

While the Steelers’ third quarter of the schedule isn’t overly daunting, it is one of the toughest schedules Mike Tomlin will face during his tenure in Pittsburgh. Given the challenging end of their schedule, it is imperative that the Steelers stack win in the first three quarters of their schedule to get a legitimate shot in the playoffs. Pittsburgh cannot afford a slow start to the 2021 season.
