Are you looking for high-quality football between two teams both fighting for playoff spots and featuring healthy rosters? Too bad, because instead of that, tonight’s Thursday Night Football game is not that.
Instead, NFL fans are likely to get a quarterback matchup of Mitchell Trubisky vs. Bailey Zappe in tonight’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (-6)
and New England Patriots (+6). Kenny Pickett has an ankle injury and Mac Jones is now riding the bench, leading to this matchup appearing on our screens tonight. To make matters worse, the Patriots are out several additional starters, including running back Rhamondre Stevenson, wide receiver Demario Douglas, and offensive lineman Riley Reiff.
