Steelers-Falcons Week 1 preview with Nick Farabaugh

Alan Saunders and PennLive's Nick Farabaugh break down the Steelers ' Week 1 home matchup against the Atlanta Falcons . They discuss how much newness both teams carry into the opener, from Pittsburgh 's coaching changes under Patrick Graham to Kevin Stefanski taking over in Atlanta. Farabaugh identifies Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts in the quick passing game as the primary threats the Steelers must contain, with Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson's consistency at linebacker as the key variable. On offense, they argue Pittsburgh should attack Atlanta's outside corners and scheme against man coverage rather than challenge the Jesse Bates and Xavier Watts safety duo up the seam, and note that Atlanta's weak pass rush should keep Aaron Rodgers comfortable.
