## Resource

Steelers’ new head coach Mike McCarthy, a hometown hero raised near the facility, faces immense pressure from day one as he replaces Mike Tomlin and aims to end Pittsburgh’s playoff drought. With Aaron Rodgers in his final season and a veteran defense, McCarthy’s focus is on fundamentals and immediate wins—not flashy schemes. Meanwhile, the Falcons, led by first-year coach Kevin Stefanski, are rebuilding with urgency, treating the season like a series of sprints. But their hopes are dimmed by Tua Tagovailoa’s oblique injury and a troubling question mark over cornerback Joey Porter Jr., whose contract status could impact his playing time. As the Steelers host the Falcons—whose last win in Pittsburgh was 1984—the stage is set for a high-stakes opener that could define both franchises’ futures.
