My final Pittsburgh Steelers thoughts as the team heads to New England to take on the Patriots.
1. THIS IS NOT THE SAME PATRIOTS TEAM AS LAST YEAR
The Tom Brady and Bill Belichick dynasty finally came to an end, with a new era beginning in New England in 2024. Jerod Mayo was elevated to head coach, and the team drafted quarterback Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the draft. It was a rough year in New England. Jerod Mayo did not live up to expectations, matching the prior year’s dismal record of 4-13, and was gone at the end of the season.
