Patriots looking to avoid snapping this streak vs Steelers

The New England Patriots will have a streak on the line, as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday.

The Patriots lost to the Miami Dolphins by a 20-7 score in Week 1. If they lose to the Steelers in Week 2, their record would fall to 0-2. That has not happened since 2001, making it the longest active streak in the NFL without starting a season 0-2.

In the 2001 season, New England lost to the Cincinnati Bengals to open the year by a 23-17 score. They then followed that up with a loss to the New York Jets by a 3-10 margin.
