Both teams come from very different league seasons. The Steelers are 1-0 after upsetting the Bengals in overtime last Sunday. The Patriots are 0-1 after a miserable showing in Miami. Despite these results, the visiting Patriots are favored to win this game. One reason for that may be Bill Belichick’s 8-3 record against Steelers teams coached by Mike Tomlin, along with the fact that reigning Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt is out for this game after an injury last season. week.
Sunday’s game features an interesting quarterback matchup between Mac Jones and Mitch Trubisky. Along with last week’s loss, Jones suffered a back injury and missed training time due to illness. Trubisky, who put up mediocre numbers in his Steelers debut, hopes to connect on more deep shots after not making his mark on many big attempts last week.
