Early Speculation Has Steelers As Legitimate 2019 Opening Game Opponent For Patriots

The New England Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl Sunday night in Atlanta, GA by beating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 and that now means they’ll likely play at home in the 2019 Thursday night regular season opener. While we won’t know for sure who will play who in the 2019 Thursday night regular season opener until roughly two months from now, speculation is already starting to surface that the Patriots could wind up hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in that first contest of the new season.

Peter King of NBC Sports is one major media talking head already discussing such a matchup between the Patriots and the Steelers to start the 2019 regular season.
