"On the Steelers' side of things, Aaron Rodgers was brought in to be the new QB, and they made a blockbuster trade by sending Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith. The Patriots spent the most out of any team in free agency, dishing out over $360 million in contracts. With each team looking to add a tally to the W column, there's no doubt it will be a heated game."
"Since Tom Brady left the Patriots, the Steelers are one of two teams to have faced the Patriots more than once without a win. In 2022, a Mitch Trubisky-led squad was bested by Mac Jones, and Bailey Zappe led the Patriots to a victory over Trubisky the following season. The Patriots haven't lost against the black and yellow since 2018, and are 8-1 in their last nine matchups."
Both the Patriots and Steelers enter Week 3 at 1-1 with the Patriots aiming for their first winning record of the year. The Steelers added Aaron Rodgers and traded Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith. The Patriots led the league in free-agency spending, committing over $360 million in contracts. Historical matchups favor the Patriots, who have not lost to Pittsburgh since 2018 and are 8-1 in their last nine meetings. The Patriots struggled to limit opposing running back receiving production last week, and Jaylen Warren assumed RB1 duties after Najee Harris' departure. The Steelers' aging core can still compete despite roster age concerns.
