The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the toughest schedules in all of football this year.
ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl champion with the Steelers Ryan Clark isn’t too thrilled about that.
“Who made this schedule?…One dude from Cleveland all of a sudden got a job in the league office…The pressure is going to be on this team early in the season,” Clark said recently on Get Up.

Pittsburgh’s schedule is absolutely brutal, more so in the second half of the season.
They will face the Baltimore Ravens (twice), Cleveland Browns (twice), Cincinnati Bengals (twice), Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs in between Weeks 11 and 18.
The schedule is a little lighter in the front part of the season, but they still will have to face the Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Chargers, and New York Jets.
It is an ugly schedule that Mike Tomlin and Co. will need to be prepared for.
The good news for any nervous Steelers fans out there is that the team has had a .500 or better record in each of the last 20 seasons.
The Steelers are not an irrelevant franchise.
They hardly have ever been.
No matter what happens each year, Mike Tomlin and Co. always seem to be competitive and in contention.
History is on their side if they want to be in playoff contention come November and December.
With the additions that they have made this year, including that of quarterback Russell Wilson and All-Pro linebacker Patrick Queen, Pittsburgh should be in plenty of games this year regardless of the difficulty of their schedule.
