For the New England Patriots, the regular-season kickoff will signal the turning of a page, the beginning of a new chapter.
The previous chapter was called "DeflateGate and the Super Bowl 49 Champions," so this one, naturally, should be titled "Payback and the Road to Redemption."
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be the first team that tries to keep the Patriots in check, turning their dreams of a Super Bowl repeat on their head and forcing the nation to continue to wonder exactly how much of an advantage the Patriots really gained from underinflated footballs.
