PITTSBURGH — It wasn’t pretty, but the Patriots on Sunday escaped Acrisure Stadium with a much-needed 17-14 Week 2 victory over the Steelers.
New England scored first and never trailed, with quarterback Mac Jones completing 21 of 35 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown to go along with one interception. Running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for 118 yards on the ground with Harris delivering a touchdown.
Pittsburgh quarterback Mitch Trubisky racked up 168 yards and a touchdown while completing 21 of 33 passes. He also threw an interception.
Both teams now are 1-1, with the Patriots set to host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday.
