Steelers reportedly will open season at Patriots in prime time
Steelers receiver Eli Rogers makes a catch against the Patriots Sunday Dec. 16, 2018 at Heinz Field.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will open the 2019 regular season on Sept. 8 at New England, with the Patriots raising their sixth championship banner, according to a report by The Athletic.
The Patriots tied the Steelers by winning a sixth Lombardi Trophy in February when they defeated the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl, 13-3.
The Athletic report said the Steelers-Patriots will be the spotlight game on the first “Sunday Night Football” telecast on NBC.

The entire NFL schedule will be released Wednesday at 8 p.m.
