The Pittsburgh Steelers headed to Gillette Stadium to attempt to slay the dragon that was the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in Week 1. The Steelers hadn’t won in New England since 2008 when they defeated Matt Cassel, not Tom Brady, in a dominating performance.
Would they be able to recreate such a victory in 2019? Or would the Patriots’ domination over the Steelers in Foxboro continue?
The Steelers won the opening coin toss, but elected to kick the ball to Brady and company, deferring their possession to the second half.
