3 keys to victory for the Steelers vs. the Patriots

The Steelers have a quick turnaround after their worst loss of the season at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals when they face the New England Patriots.

The Steelers hosted New England last season in Week 2 with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback and lost 17-14. Can they get back on track and secure their eighth win of the season? If they want to, this is how they’ll do it.

1. Secure the middle of the field

This is a copy and paste of last Sunday against Arizona. The Patriots come into the week seventh in the NFL at targets over the middle of the field, and throw it short of the sticks almost as much as anyone in the league.
