On Wednesday, the NFL released the full regular-season schedule. The Pittsburgh Steelers schedule includes a trip to Ireland to take on the Minnesota Vikings and four games in prime time. But these aren’t the biggest surprises at all. Here are the five biggest things that stood out from the Steelers 2025 schedule.
Early bye week
The NFL stuck it to the Steelers with the bye week in Week Five. Bye weeks are a great opportunity to regroup and get healthy but this early in the season it isn’t much good.
Bournemouth’s young center back Dean Huijsen is a player in huge demand and the latest reports state the trio of Liverpool, Arsenal and Real Madrid are pushing hard to sign the Spaniard.
Huijsen, 20, has burst onto the scene this season following his move from Juventus to Bournemouth last summer. It took him a while to get into the Bournemouth team but he’s never looked back and now his reported $66.1 million release clause for this summer has plenty of big teams circling.
Tottenham forward Dejan Kulusevski will be out for months after undergoing knee surgery.
Kulusevski will miss next week’s Europa League final against Manchester United because of the injury and it is not known whether he will be available for the start of next season. He will be sidelined “at least for a few months,” Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou said on Thursday.

If you want to ditch your family and head to Jerry’s World on Thanksgiving, you best act fast – and maybe take out a second mortgage.
Shockingly – not really at all – tickets for the recently-announced Chiefs-Cowboys Turkey Day game are selling like hot cakes. And for those who still want a piece of the pie, the price tag in some parts of the stadium is already in the quadruple-digits.
That’s thousands, for those counting back at home.
Thousands!
I mean, my God. Could you imagine spending over $2,000 to sit field-level for Chiefs-Cowboys? Insane.

Pete Rose being reinstated by Major League Baseball has folks asking a number of different questions, but for former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer, the question he has is pretty simple: What about me?
Bauer, who last pitched in the MLB in 2021, took a jab at the league on social media the day after Rose and others were reinstated.
Rose was added to MLB’s permanent ineligibility list in 1989 for betting on baseball.
Bauer’s four-year absence from the league revolves around sexual assault allegations made against him in 2021.
The New Orleans Saints‘ 2025 schedule is here, and with that, we got another rendition of their schedule release video, this time with an interesting twist. After ranking the past five years’ worth of them, we now have another contender in the race as Kellen Moore and his “anger translator” Rob Kazi made their debut in front of New Orleans media. It’s a fun take on a skit introduced by former President Barrack Obama and comedian Keegan-Michael Key at the 2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
