Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots used to be a matchup that got every ounce of attention from NFL fans. Historic coaches, historic players, two AFC heavyweights going at it. Now? It doesn’t even get the top broadcast team from the network airing the game.
A lot has changed since the Steelers and Patriots were two of the best teams in football. Bill Belichick is coaching in the college ranks. Tom Brady is in the FOX booth. Ben Roethlisberger is drinking Sam Adams Oktoberfest while he recaps prior Steelers games. Rodney Harrison and Ryan Clark are in the broadcast studio.
