New England Patriots: Pittsburgh Steelers emerging as main competition in AFC

To kick off Week 11, the Pittsburgh Steelers made quite the statement to the rest of the AFC, including the New England Patriots. In what could be a playoff preview, the Steelers were able to defeat the Tennessee Titans with ease.

At home, the Steelers continue to be impressive, as they improved to 8-2 this season, and 3-1 at home. As one of the most difficult teams the Steelers have faced this season, they were able to beat the Titans by 23 points, and the game was in control for much of the second half.

Home field has proved to be important for the Steelers, as their offense and Ben Roethlisberger are notably better at home.
