Steelers 2009 Schedule

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will begin the 2009 exhibition schedule against the Arizona Cardinals, the team they defeated in Super Bowl XLIII.
Team spokesman Dave Lockett on Monday confirmed the following schedule of Steelers preseason games:

• Steelers vs. Arizona at Heinz Field, Aug. 13, 8 p.m.
• Steelers at Washington, sometime on the weekend of Aug. 20-24
• Steelers vs. Buffalo at Heinz Field, sometime on the weekend of Aug. 27-31
• Steelers at Carolina, sometime on the weekend of Sept. 3-4

Those games are for practice, but they count for real starting on Sept. 10, when the Steelers host AFC South champion Tennessee in the NFL's 2009 season opener at Heinz Field.

The rest of the Steelers' regular-season schedule hasn't been announced yet, but it is known that they will play at home vs. Oakland, San Diego and Green Bay; on the road vs. Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit and Miami; and the traditional home-and-home series against division opponents Cincinnati, Baltimore and Cleveland.
