Steelers Season Opener

It's pretty much becoming tradition in the NFL for the defending Super Bowl champion to open the next season with a Thursday night game, and it appears that this season will be no exception. The Steelers will host an opponent yet to be named on Sept. 7. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, top candidates are the Bengals and Broncos. Which one would you rather see? Personally, I'd love to see a rematch of the AFC Championship right off the bat.

Lefty,

A matchup with Denver would definitely be nice! A great game to kick off the season. But I think I would rather see them face the Bengals. My main reason for this is because it would be a game within the division. The loser would already be behind the 8 ball one game into the season. And with Cincinnati winning the division last year what could be better?!
