The NFL announced that kickoff times for Sunday afternoon doubleheader games on CBS and FOX will be moved from 4:15 p.m. to 4:25 p.m.
Five Steelers games will be affected, including Week 2 against the New York Jets at Heinz Field.
The other games moved back 10 minutes are away: Sept. 23 at Oakland; Nov. 4 at New York Giants; Dec. 2 at Baltimore; and Dec. 16 at Dallas.
The 4:05 p.m. kickoff time for games not on the doubleheader network will remain unchanged.
In researching the kickoff time shift, the NFL analyzed games from the 2009-11 seasons and found that 44 games required part of the audience to be switched to a mandatory doubleheader game kickoff.
With a 4:25 p.m. kickoff time, that number that would have been reduced by 66 percent to only 15 games.
