Before you know it, Week 1 is here and football is back. The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Atlanta to face Kirk Cousins and the Falcons. Cousins isn’t the only new face in Atlanta, as they’ve added a few more key players, especially on defense, which shows why the Falcons were considered early favorites.
Matthew Judon and Justin Simmons will look to bolster the Falcons’ defense against Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh’s revamped offense. There’s no shortage of returning talent either, with the Falcons welcoming back second-year player Bijan Robinson and talented young receiver Drake London.
And while the Steelers will finally see players like Cam Heyward, TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick all back on the field together, fans will see one of their new quarterbacks — likely Justin Fields — quarterback for the Black and Gold for the first time in the regular season. With both teams having fresh and returning players on both sides of the ball, this game is shaping up to be a neck-and-neck contest.
