Can the Pittsburgh Steelers steal one in Foxborough and move to 2-0?
On this episode of State of the Steelers, we break down Pittsburgh’s Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. We’ll look at the latest Steelers injury report, including Joey Porter Jr., Michael Pittman Jr. and Troy Fautanu, and discuss what Pittsburgh needs to improve after its Week 1 victory over Atlanta.
We’ll also break down Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offense, the need to establish the running game, DK Metcalf’s opportunities downfield, Pittsburgh’s pass rush against Drake Maye, and the matchups that could ultimately decide this game.
Before getting into Steelers-Patriots, we’ll take a trip around the AFC North and preview the Browns vs. Buccaneers, Bengals vs. Texans and Ravens vs. Saints.
Plus, we’ll look at the betting lines and give my final prediction:
Can Pittsburgh pull off the upset and leave Foxborough 2-0?
