The Pittsburgh Steelers will seek to overcome their troubled history in Foxboro against the New England Patriots, and they desperately need to after two lackluster weeks to start the season. Both teams are 1-1, but 2-1 and 1-2 feel distinctly different for the trajectory of a season.
The Steelers’ secondary is still beat up with Joey Porter Jr. and DeShon Elliott out for this game, but they are getting first-round DT Derrick Harmon back into the fold after a preseason knee injury. They can really use a spark on their defensive line, even if coaches cautioned limited snaps for him in his NFL regular season debut.
