For much of this century, the New England Patriots have been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ boogeyman. Since 2000, the Steelers have only beaten the Patriots four times. When both teams were battling for supremacy in the AFC, the Patriots tended to come out on top. While neither team looks like a Super Bowl contender this year, they’ll face off in Week 3, giving Pittsburgh a chance to put start a new chapter in the rivalry. However, former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski seems confident New England will win.
“They’re going above seven [wins],” Gronkowski said of the Patriots’ win total Tuesday on Bussin’ with the Boys.
