The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in their preseason opener. Here’s how to watch online.

An old-fashioned Pennsylvania showdown between the Steelers and Eagles is exactly how to start a preseason. The former Super Bowl champions are looking to defend their title right from the jump. The Steelers, well, they’re looking to begin another journey for Lombardi number seven.

Don’t expect this to be a battle of the starters. Both teams would love to see what their starting 11 have to offer, but in a preseason debut, the game is focused more on finding hidden gems than playing the best on the roster.

That’s fine. Pittsburgh has plenty of players off the bench that bring excitement. Their third-string quarterback competition is still red hot, and if that doesn’t speak volumes about the talent throughout the roster than not much will.

For the Steelers, they’re looking to see what the rookies have to offer, how their backfield will play without Le’Veon Bell, and maybe even who’s gaining the upper hand in a few position battles. All making for a preseason opener to watch for.

Football is back! There’s no better feeling than waking up knowing you’re only hours away from Pittsburgh football. With the team so close to perfection, every player on the field is worth watching. Making this an exciting game from start to finish.

There are diamonds in the rough throughout the 90 men Pittsburgh is building a team with. Only 53 of them can stay, making for some serious competition and a lot of excitement for the fans. As both teams hunt for an opening win, make sure to be checking on these “Things to watch.”
