One of the highlights of this year's schedule is three home games against some formidable opponents. These matches are expected to draw large crowds at Heinz Field with high stakes on the line.
Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney II expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming season:
The first marquee matchup takes place in Week 4 when the New England Patriots visit Heinz Field. This game between two perennial powerhouses offers a chance for redemption after last season's heartbreaking loss in Foxborough.
Coach Mike Tomlin shared his thoughts on facing Coach Bill Belichick's squad:
In Week 8, another blockbuster awaits as reigning Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs make their way into town. The showdown between star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Ben Roethlisberger promises nothing short of an action-packed battle.
Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid made it clear that he does not underestimate their opponent during a press conference earlier this week:
Finally, in Week 14, AFC North rivals Baltimore Ravens will visit Heinz Field for another edition of their intense rivalry. With both teams expected to be fighting for playoff positioning at this point in the season, emotions are sure to run high during this showdown.
Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh expressed his respect for the Steelers organization:
While these three matchups stand out on the schedule, every game is crucial as the Steelers look to secure a spot in the 2023 playoffs.
