NFL Week 1: Steelers vs. Patriots

Week 1 didn’t end in the Steelers’ favor, with their first game against the New England Patriots ending 33-3. Other storylines continue for the Steelers, with former wide receiver Antonio Brown finally landing in New England after multiple contract changes. This week he wasn’t eligible to play against the Steelers, but New England fans are excited to see how he changes the team’s dynamic. Next Sunday, the Steelers take on the Seattle Seahawks at 1 p.m.
