Falcons vs Steelers live stream: Watch NFL Preseason online
The Atlanta Falcons face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Aug. 20 in the 2017 NFL Preseason. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Week 2 of the 2017 NFL preseason began on Thursday night. But the league decided that meeting between two of the better teams from a year ago was more suited for a traditional Sunday afternoon. That’s when the defending NFC champions head to the Keystone State. Translation: The Atlanta Falcons take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
Both Dan Quinn’s Falcons and Mike Tomlin’s Steelers saw their 2016 seasons ended by the eventual Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Now both clubs look to take their new campaigns a little deeper. This is also a meeting between two of the better quarterback/wide receiver tandems in the NFL: Atlanta’s Matt Ryan to Julio Jones and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown.
Last week, the Atlanta Falcons took it on the chin at Miami. But Ryan and the first-team offense (sans Jones) got some playing time against the Dolphins. On the flip side, the Pittsburgh Steelers got a 20-12 win over the New York Giants in a contest that was started by rookie quarterback Josh Dobbs. But it was another rookie, outside linebacker T.J. Watt, that somewhat stole the show at MetLife Stadium.

Look for Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ regular offense (minus unsigned running back Le’Veon Bell) to see some first-quarter action this week. This could be a fun game to watch between these two contenders, at least early on.
This matchup will be broadcast on local networks, which means you can stream the action online. NFL Game Pass and FuboTV are your best bets to do so. However, both services require a paid subscription.
