<p>Well, it looks as if the NFL schedules might be leaking. <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/gerrydulac/status/192356212979941376">According to Gerry Dulac</a> of the <i>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</i>, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> will open the 2012 season against <span>Peyton Manning</span> and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> on Sunday night (Sept. 9). The game is a rematch of last season's Wild Card playoff game, where the Broncos won 29-23 in overtime following an 80-yard touchdown pass from <span>Tim Tebow</span> on the first play of the extended period.</p>
<p>The full schedules are not expected to be released until later today at 7 p.m. EST.</p>
<p>For the Steelers, this means that safety <span>Ryan Clark</span> will be unable to play in the opener because of health concerns. Clark<a href="http://pittsburgh.sbnation.com/pittsburgh-steelers/2012/1/3/2679359/steelers-vs-broncos-injuries-ryan-clark-lamarr-woodley-doug-legursky/in/2442016"> suffers from a sickle-cell trait</a>, which prevents him from playing at a high altitude. And Denver's Sports Authority Field at Mile High certainly classifies as high altitude.</p>
