Finally, Week 1. There's plenty of stories for this one.

Brock Purdy
2022 Mr Irrelevant became very relevant by the end of the season. He went 5-0 as a starter before suffering an elbow injury that ruled him out of the NFC Championship game. The Eagles won and now that Purdy is healed up, the 49ers will look for another deep playoff run.

Kenny Pickett
Another polarising player. He's in the Brock Purdy camp. From what we have seen, he's decent but the sample size is too small. He went 7-5 as a starter with his most noticeable win coming against the Baltimore Ravens, comeback style.

How this game will be won
Two of the best defenses in the NFL, week 1. It's either going to be a defensive slugfest or the offense will be piling up the points. I'm going with the former. The Steelers have just enough to beat the Niners and with homefield advantage, they should enjoy a 21-20 contest to start the season.
