The New England Patriots will try to avoid their first 0-2 start to a season since 2001 when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Last week, the Patriots (0-1) fell 20-7 to Miami. Meanwhile, the Steelers (1-0) shocked Cincinnati, 23-20. Sunday's matchup will be the first New England vs. Pittsburgh game since 1998 that will not feature Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger.
