2025 Steelers Schedule Preview: Week 4 vs. the Minnesota Vikings
It’s the official lull of the NFL offseason, and that means it provides enough time to go over things which you might not have time to dive into when the news and storylines are rampant. One of the things which is always something I want to do is an in-depth preview on the schedule. When the schedule gets released it involves a very knee jerk reaction from the fan base, but not a lot of introspection happens once the dust settles.
Well, if you’re like me, you’re in luck. This is the detailed breakdown of the Steelers 2025 regular season schedule, by week.

Analysis: If you are old enough, you remember the last time the Steelers and Vikings played overseas. It was in England in 2013 as the Steelers fell flat on their faces on their way to an 0-4 start to the season.
Teams lose games, and they even lose bad games at times, but there were many factors in that 2013 game which left me wondering what the next overseas game might hold in store for the black-and-gold. To be more specific, it was the fact the Steelers didn’t travel to England until Thursday of the week of the game. That game in 2013 had players talk about how they were jet-lagged and not able to get into rhythm during the week.
That was in 2013, things would change in 2025, right? Wrong. According to Art Rooney II after the schedule was released, the team won’t be doing anything different.
To me, not change means no change in results.
I think this game will be close, but I think it is the Vikings to make one more play than the Steelers as they had the previously undefeated Steelers their first loss.
Prediction: Vikings 20, Steelers 17
