Series history: Patriots have had some memorable clashes with the Steelers through the years

The New England Patriots will travel to newly-named Acrisure Stadium on Sunday to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. These two teams have been relatively evenly matched throughout history as the Patriots are 17-16 all-time against the black and gold.

Let’s take a look back on some of the most important games between these two:

First Meeting in the Series: The first meeting between these two foes was on October 22, 1972. This game was an absolute blowout as the Steelers trounced the Patriots 33-3 in Pittsburgh. This game saw Jim Plunkett (NE) and Terry Bradshaw (PIT) face off.
