"Aaron Rodgers carved up his former team in Week 1, throwing for 244 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-32 win over the Jets. But Week 2 was a different story, completing just 54.6 percent of his passes for 203 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions in a 31-17 loss to the Seahawks. As Rodgers has two uneven performances to start the year, his success hasn't come from slinging the ball downfield."
"Those numbers check out when you look at the stats of the Steelers' receivers so far this year. DK Metcalf is their only wide receiver with over 100 yards through the first two games (103), while running back Jaylen Warren is their leading receiver on the young season (108). So, Robert Spillane and the rest of the Patriots' linebacker corps might be busy on Sunday, especially if Christian Gonzalez returns to New England's secondary."
Mike Tomlin remains the Steelers' head coach as Pittsburgh added Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, and Darius Slay. Rodgers produced a 244-yard, four-touchdown performance in Week 1 followed by a turnover-filled outing in Week 2. Rodgers' completed and intended air yards rank among the lowest in the NFL, reflecting limited downfield passing. DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren lead the team in early receiving yards. The Steelers' offensive line has allowed multiple sacks, creating protection concerns. Patriots linebackers could see heavy involvement, particularly if Christian Gonzalez returns to the secondary for the Gillette Stadium matchup.
