Sunday’s game is interesting on several facts, including the fact that Detroit is getting the “Hard Knocks” treatment and Pittsburgh appears to have a potential Day 1 starter at quarterback with rookie Kenny Pickett.
The idea of pitting Pickett, the No. 20 pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, against Aidan Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick, is tantalizing. But it remains to be seen just how much action those first-round picks will see in Sunday’s game — especially with the season so close.
Either way, Sunday’s game will represent the last semi-meaningful action in the NFL for two weeks before. By the time the season kicks off in earnest on Sept. 8, games will be about winning — not who makes the final roster.
