Coming off an ugly home-opener loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2, the Pittsburgh Steelers head to a place where they haven’t won since 2008: Foxboro.
The trip to Foxboro brings another tough matchup for the Steelers against a physical opponent, this time in the New England Patriots. Pittsburgh is banged up defensively and has had issues stopping the run and pressuring the quarterback. It won’t get any easier this week against the Patriots, led by second-year QB Drake Maye.
The Steelers’ defense isn’t the only unit struggling, either. The offensive line hasn’t been able to establish a run game or consistently protect Aaron Rodgers.
