Tough competition to face Steelers
By Bud L. Ellis
If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to return to the playoffs after missing out on the postseason last season, they will have to play well in 2010.
The schedule for the Steelers is far from easy.
The National Football League has released its list of home games and road games for the upcoming season. Dates and times will be determined later this spring.
AFC North champion Cincinnati, AFC East champion New England, and two AFC wild-card teams – Baltimore and the New York Jets – come to play at Pittsburgh this season. The rest of the home schedule includes games against Cleveland, Atlanta, Carolina and Oakland.
The road schedule features games with three playoff teams. Pittsburgh plays at Cincinnati and Baltimore, as well as a visit with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. The rest of the road slate is completed by trips to Cleveland, Miami, Buffalo, Tennessee and Tampa Bay.
The Steelers’ schedule ranks 21st in the league based on opponents’ winning percentage.
