Steelers at Redskins live stream: Watch NFL online
By Hunter Noll
The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field on Monday. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Per tradition, the NFL regular season kicks off with a double-header on Monday of week one. The Steelers and Redskins drew the first of the two games, while the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers take game two. Both the Redskins and Steelers are coming off playoff berths in 2015, and look to go deeper in 2016.

The Redskins will be focusing on new additions to the team in week one. Cornerback Josh Norman, safety David Bruton Jr., defensive end Ziggy Hood, wide receiver Josh Doctson, and running back Robert Kelley all look to have an impact on the game. It will also be great to see tight end and team captain Niles Paul back on the field, after he missed all of 2015 with an ankle injury.
While the Redskins are looking at new faces, the Steelers will be worrying about old ones that aren’t available. Running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Martavis Bryant are both serving suspensions, and therefore won’t be available on Monday. Wide receiver Markus Wheaton is also ruled out with an injury, severely limiting the Steelers offensive weapons outside of Antonio Brown. Sammie Coates and Jesse James are the two most likely options to help pick up the slack.
The most interesting matchup is pretty obvious. Norman was seen as one of (if not the best) cornerbacks in football last season. Meanwhile, Brown is considered the best wide receiver in the league. Norman will be under a giant microscope after signing a massive contract with the Redskins the offseason, and Brown is the ultimate test (via ESPN.com).
