After an abysmal season last year, Steelers fans are hoping the team can regroup and put together a good season in 2013.
The Steelers will play four games on national television, including a Thanksgiving Day game against their rivals and Super Bowl Champions, the Baltimore Ravens. That game will be on the road in Baltimore and will kickoff at 8:30 pm ET on NBC. This is the very first primetime Thanksgiving Day game for the Steelers in team history.
Pittsburgh will also play Cincinnati on the road in the national spotlight on September 16th, on Monday Night Football on ESPN. Their other two nationally televised games are at home and will be against the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football on September 22nd and against the Bengals again on December 15th on Sunday Night Football. All of their primetime games are set for an 8:30 pm ET kickoff, except the Monday night game which will kickoff at 8:40 pm ET.
The Steelers will also travel to London on Sunday September 29th to take on the Minnesota Vikings.
