The New England Patriots will begin their title defense this Sunday night as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. It will be a special night, as the team will also be unveiling its record-tying sixth championship banner. This begins the Patriots’ quest to try and become back-to-back champions once again, as they were the last team to do it when they defending their 2003 title to cap the 2004 season.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are 4-1 in “Banner Nights” with the lone loss, of course, coming back in 2017 when they fell to the Chiefs, 42-27.
