How to watch today's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons game in Week 1 of the NFL schedule

It's the opening week of the regular season in the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers will be hosting the Atlanta Falcons. Here's how you can watch today's game. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing their first regular season game at home under new head coach Mike McCarthy, who replaced Mike Tomlin, who stepped down earlier this year after 19 seasons with the team.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is entering his 22nd season in the NFL and has said that this will be the final year of his career.

Pittsburgh kept four quarterbacks on its 53-man roster at the end of the preseason with Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar backing up Rodgers on the depth chart. It's unclear which of the three will be on the active roster for today's game. 

Tua Tagovailoa was named the starting quarterback for the Falcons for today's game, but was added to the injury report on Thursday with an oblique injury and was listed as limited.

On Friday, the Falcons ruled Tagovailoa out, and Cooper Rush will be under center for Atlanta. 

However, on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Falcons said that Rush was dealing with back spasms but will still start. 

Should that change, with both Tagovalioa and Michael Penix Jr. injured, the only other option at QB on Atlanta's depth chart is undrafted rookie Jack Strand.

Kickoff between the Steelers and the Falcons today is set for 1:00 p.m. at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
