NEW YORK (AP) — That was quite the opener for the New England Patriots.
The defending champs dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers 33-3 on Sunday night.
Now Tom Brady and company welcome wide receiver Antonio Brown to the lineup.
The Patriots not only remained on top of the latest AP Pro32 poll , but it was nearly unanimous.
New England received 11 of the 12 first-place votes for 383 points in balloting Tuesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL.
"The Patriots typically build momentum as the season goes on, but this year's team picked up right where it left off, with a strong defense and an offense that doesn't even look like it needs Antonio Brown," said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback.
