2026 NFL Schedule Revealed: Which Teams Face Surprising Playoff Nightmares?
18. San Francisco 49ers (Opponent Win%: .497)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 11.15 (13th)
- 2025 Record: 12-5
- 2025 EVE Rank: 13th
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 22nd
The Highlights: The Mexico City game against the Vikings in Week 11 isn’t even San Francisco’s first international outing of the year. The 49ers first have a Week 1 clash with the Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to get everyone’s blood pressure up quickly.
19. Pittsburgh Steelers (Opponent Win%: .495)
- Post-NFL Draft Rating: 11.86 (9th)
- 2025 Record: 10-7
- 2025 EVE Rank: 22nd
- 2025 TRACR Rank: 15th
The Highlights: When the Steelers play Baltimore on Dec. 20, it will be the teams’ first matchup since 2008 that does not pit Mike Tomlin against John Harbaugh. Something tells us Mike McCarthy will not stick around as long as Tomlin did, but beating Jesse Minter and the Ravens would be huge in his first season with the Steelers. Oh, they play the Ravens again just three weeks later in Week 18.
