The Pittsburgh Steelers hit the road for Week 3, visiting the New England Patriots. They came out with a close win, by a score of 21-14. The Steelers advance to 2-1 while the Patriots fall to 1-2.
The Patriots got the ball first, and we quickly saw some new starters on the Steelers’ defense. Cole Holcomb started at inside linebacker, and Jabrill Peppers started at safety. The decision to start Holcomb immediately paid off, and he forced a fumble on New England’s first drive. The Steelers then marched down the field, and Gainwell eventually punched it in from a yard out.
