Former NFL player Chris Long highlighted how the Pittsburgh Steelers face limited time zone shifts during their 2026 season, calling it a significant advantage aside from one trip abroad.
Long made the remarks Thursday on his Green Light Podcast. He noted that the Steelers leave their time zone only once outside of their scheduled game in Paris. The team plays road games against its three AFC North rivals plus Jacksonville, New England, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Tennessee. Only the trips to New Orleans and Tennessee require crossing time zones.
