The Patriots and Steelers will clash in New England today, with both teams looking to right the ship and grab their first victory of the season. The two squads sit 1-1 going into Week 3, with many reasons to be optimistic moving forward.
Pats second-year quarterback Drake Maye looked great in New England's first win last weekend. He completed 19-of-23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, and he got a lot of help from old friend Rhamondre Stevenson (142 total yards).
Maye also tallied 31 yards and a score with his feet, ultimately leading Mike Vrabel's squad to a 33-27 victory over the division-rival Dolphins. Now, New England draws a home game vs. Aaron Rodgers, D.K. Metcalf and the Steelers, with Pats stud cornerback Christian Gonzalez possibly making his 2025 debut.
The Steelers lit up the Jets, Rodgers' team the past two years, in a 34-32 barnburner in Week 1. Pittsburgh then came back to Earth last week against Seattle, struggling to get the run game going and throwing two costly interceptions. But, as Rodgers has said in the past, fans should "relax."
