The NFL schedule is out and the first Monday night game of the 2020 season is scheduled to be the Pittsburgh Steelers at the New York Giants.
We don’t know who will call the game, but Ben Roethlisberger is expected to be back from elbow surgery. Joe Judge will make his head coaching debut. Daniel Jones will make his first career opening day start.
Some Steelers and Giants players are already trash talking.
Golden Tate just wanted to tweet out his excitement for being on Monday Night Football to open up the season…

Tate wasn’t going to take trash talk from a rookie:
Ay ROOK just make sure you bring me some wings for the post game victory meal.

Both the Steelers and Giants are looking to bounce back after disappointing seasons in 2019. The Steelers showed off a nasty defense but couldn’t get their offense going without Ben Roethlisberger, while the Giants got to see Daniel Jones but a putrid offensive line and defense didn’t help.
