Who Are the Announcers and Referees for Steelers vs. Falcons Today?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are lacing up their cleats to take on the Atlanta Falcons in the 2024 season opener. This Week 1 matchup is between uncommon opponents and doesn't have divisional or even conference standings on the line.

However, with just seventeen games in a season, every game feels like a playoff game in the NFL, and Mike Tomlin can ill-afford to get off to a slow start. Pittsburgh has a lot to prove if they are to snap their seven-year drought without a playoff win, and it starts today in Atlanta.

Before you sit back and relax for the game, you need to know which announcers and referees we are dealing with for the Steelers vs. Falcons game in Week 1.
