Steelers 21, Patriots 14

 

Today, the New England Patriots lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough for the first time since 2008, when Tom Brady was out for the season with a knee injury. Drake Maye went 28 of 37 for 268 yards, rushed for 45, and threw two TDs, but he also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Antonio Gibson also fumbled and Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled twice. To make matters worse, two of those turnovers came at the Steelers 2-yard line. 

It was New England’s first five-turnover game since that 2008 lose at home to Pittsburgh. Maye can pass the ball all he wants, but if the team keeps turning the ball over to the other team, this is going to be one long season. 

42-year-old Steeler QB Aaron Rodgers got only 139 yards, just slightly over half of Maye's total, and rushed for one whole yard.      

The Pats are 1-2, which sadly makes them the second best team in the AFC East. Both Miami and the Jets are 0-3. 

Next week, New England hosts Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers (1-2), who got their first win of the season today in a 30-0 shutout of the Atlanta Falcons.
