How to Watch and Listen to Steelers’ 2025 Home Opener vs. Seahawks: Kickoff, Streaming, and What to Watch

Week 2 of the NFL season is here, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to welcome their fans back to Acrisure Stadium for the home opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Steelers opened their season with a wild 34–32 shootout win over the New York Jets, but the focus quickly shifts to Week 2 — and a storyline dominated by wide receiver DK Metcalf facing his former team for the first time since his trade to Pittsburgh.

What to Watch For
- DK Metcalf’s Reunion Game
Metcalf wasted no time making his presence felt in black and gold. Targeted seven times in Week 1, he caught four passes for 83 yards, showing off his trademark speed and yards-after-catch ability. Against Seattle, the added motivation of facing his old team could spark a breakout performance. - Steelers’ Run Defense Under Pressure
Despite the Week 1 win, Pittsburgh’s run defense was exposed, surrendering 182 rushing yards. Linebacker Patrick Queen didn’t mince words afterward, calling the effort “absolute trash.” The Seahawks’ wide-zone attack and Kenneth Walker III will test that weakness again. - Key Defensive Pieces
The Steelers need improvement from Keeanu Benton up front, while the return of Derrick Harmon could provide reinforcements. Veteran leader Cam Heyward is also expected to look sharper as he rounds back into form following a tumultuous offseason.
With Metcalf seeking revenge and the defense desperate to tighten up, the Steelers’ home opener carries both excitement and urgency. Pittsburgh will try to ride the energy of Acrisure Stadium to a 2–0 start in the AFC.
