It might not hold the same weight and attention that it once did, but Thursday’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots remains a big one on Thursday Night Football in Week 14.
Gone are the days of Tom Brady against Ben Roethlisberger, and other Hall of Fame names like Troy Polamalu, Rob Gronkowski, Richard Seymour, James Harrison, and more. In their place, guys like T.J. Watt, Cameron Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Kyle Dugger, Lawrence Guy, and more have stepped up in hopes of carrying on the tradition of the rivalry.
The two teams seem to be going in opposite directions this season, though.
