## Resource

Steelers host Patriots in a high-stakes AFC opener as Pittsburgh rebounds from a close win against a backup QB, while New England seeks its first victory after a brutal Week 1 loss. The Patriots’ offense is struggling—key receiver down early, QB throwing three picks, and new receivers still finding their groove. Their run game faces another test against Pittsburgh’s stingy defense, which has a history of forcing fumbles. New England’s defense, however, is loaded with talent and pressure, making it tough for the Steelers to move the ball. Pittsburgh may need play-action and big plays from their receivers to keep pace. A tough matchup, but the Patriots are still figuring things out—and they’re hungry for their first win. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
