Steelers vs Patriots live updates: TV info, live stream, odds for Week 2 game

Posted by Admin September 20, 2026 NFL

For once, the Pittsburgh Steelers head to New England with some history on their side.

They’ll face the Patriots in an NFL Week 2 matchup Sunday following a victory at Gillette Stadium a year ago in which the defense forced five turnovers to secure a 21-14 Week 3 victory. It was Pittsburgh’s first win in Foxboro, Mass., since a 2011 triumph. The Steelers had dropped decisions in each of their past four visits and had dropped eight of their last nine against their AFC nemesis overall.

Coach Mike Vrabel, quarterback Drake Maye and Co. ultimately got the last laugh by reaching the Super Bowl as AFC champions. At least for an afternoon, however, they didn’t have many answers for the playmaking of the Steelers defense.

Maye threw an interception and lost a fourth-quarter fumble that short-circuited any hopes of a comeback. Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles and Antonio Gibson lost one earlier in the game. T.J. Watt and the Steelers defense will look to be similarly opportunistic this week after generating a pair of turnovers — including a interception returned for a touchdown — in a Week 1 win against Atlanta.

Offensively, Aaron Rodgers and the offense will look to improve on an effort that was barely good enough to take advantage of New England’s miscues last year. The veteran quarterback managed just 139 yards through the air, while the running game averaged just 2.5 yards per carry en route to totaling 64 for the afternoon.

New England dropped the NFL season opener at Seattle last week. Maye has had more than a week to think about his three interceptions in that game, so it will be interesting to see whether he plays a tighter game or struggles the way he did when Pittsburgh was last in town.
