2024 NFL Schedule: Atlanta Falcons would start the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers

Atlanta WSB Zach Klein According to multiple sources, the Atlanta Falcons will begin the 2024 NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers coordinator Arthur Smith is reportedly eager to prove his offense is effective after three years of mediocrity during his tenure as Falcons head coach.

This would be only the third time the Falcons opened against the Steelers in their history and would be a blockbuster season opener to kick off the Raheem Morris era in Atlanta. Morris himself said that if the quarterback play had been better last year, he would not have had the opportunity to become Falcons head coach. With this game, he can show, with certainty, that the future of the franchise is in better hands.
