The Patriots' 2025 schedule has no shortage of intriguing games, including matchups against the Bills and the Bengals.

Unlike the 2024 schedule, one in which the Steelers didn't play an AFC North opponent until Week 11 and also saw them play three games in an 11-day span, including on Christmas Day, this season's schedule sprinkles the AFC North games throughout the slate and also has the Steelers playing just once on a short week.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have four primetime games during the 2025 season, many of which will have huge season implications.

I’ve been tasked with putting together a ranking of the Steelers’ 2025 regular season games from easiest to hardest — this exercise is for fun, and I’d urge you to create your own in the comments below.

The highlighted games on the CBS slate include the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills showdown in Week 9 (Sunday, Nov. 4), the only game that day in that time slot. The Chiefs are also included in the other highlighted game on CBS, as they face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 28).

Before that, Pittsburgh had not held a joint practice at its training camp since 2018, when the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh held a series of practices together. Buffalo and Pittsburgh organized a joint practice together in 2014. In the past, head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan appeared open to joint practice possibilities.
