Sunday's game - national broadcast on CBS

[Steeltime]

Steelers play their final preseason game this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. EST, and good news since the game will be nationally broadcast on CBS. Also, according to the Lions' coach and Cameron Heyward, both teams plan to use this game as a genuine warmup for opening day by playing their starters for the 1st half.

They'll have 2 weeks to heal, better to play them this week than have a 3 week layover and they come out flat on September 11th.

If we still have 3 QB's on the roster right after this game, then we probably will on opening day as well.

Nah, its just that by the end of the year, our lack of depth is exposed… all the starters are dinged and the backups are all special teams aces lol
