The MMQB's Peter King and Albert Breer and Sports Illustrated's Andrew Perloff offer their predictions for the AFC title game between the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh.
Patriots’ O vs. Steelers’ D
This is the third time the Patriots have seen the Steelers since the start of last year, and each time it’s been a drastically different Steelers defense. In the first matchup (Week 1 of 2015) it was a slow, declining secondary playing behind mediocre edge rushers. In the second matchup, Week 7 of this year, it was a callow secondary behind a rotation of even more mediocre edge rushers.
