The Seahawks traded away franchise stalwart Russell Wilson to the Broncos, meaning Drew Lock and Geno Smith are locking horns for the starting job in Seattle. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, saw the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, and Mitchell Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and dark horse Mason Rudolph are looking to take his place.
While quarterback will be the position to watch, this game also features two wide receivers coming off big extensions: Diontae Johnson and DK Metcalf. Both will look to leave their marks early as they build chemistry with new signal-callers.
For the Steelers, George Pickens is also making early training camp waves after being drafted this season.
