What to Watch For: Patriots at Steelers
Sunday, October 23, 2016
The New England Patriots (5-1) visit the (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon in a battle of first place teams. The Patriots have a one game lead in the AFC East while the Steelers have a one game lead in the AFC North.
“They've been one of the best for a long time. The history of the Steeler organization with so many great players and teams and championships, you know you're always going to get a dog fight when you play them,” said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in his press conference earlier this week.
The Patriots and Steelers meet for the second straight season, following New England’s season opening win in 2015 at Gillette Stadium.
