Keeanu Benton and Will Herbig travel to rural Pennsylvania on the hunt for Sasquatch and the Steelers' NFL schedule reveal.
Instead, NFL vice president of broadcasting and scheduling Mike North said Thursday, the Steelers' national brand and body of work drove the league's decision to give the Steelers prominent slots despite the unresolved quarterback situation.
"The schedule was built for Coach [Mike] Tomlin and for the Steelers, and if Aaron decides to play it probably just makes many, if not all, the Steelers games a little more interesting."
"If we knew for certain that Aaron was going to be the quarterback of the Steelers, we might've done something a little different in Week 1 with the Steelers game," he said.
North said that has less to do with the quarterback and more to do with the Steelers' track record.
