New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction
If the season ended today, the Patriots would end with the worst record in the AFC.
The team is currently 2-10. The worst record that head coach Bill Belichick has had as the head coach of the Patriots is 5-11.
The one positive to being 2-10 is that the Patriots would have a high draft pick.
New England is paced to have the number two overall pick.
The team has had numerous issues this season, but none more significant than the quarterback position.
Former starting quarterback Mac Jones has thrown more interceptions than he has thrown touchdowns this year.
The New England defense has played well this season, ranking 15th in points allowed per game.
Pittsburgh enters this game with a 7-5 record.
It has not been a pretty seven wins for Pittsburgh, as they are the number five seed in the AFC.
Head coach Mike Tomlin is one of the best in football, as he has never suffered a losing season in the NFL as a head coach.
The Steelers offense ranks 28th in points scored per game (16.0).
Things will get more challenging tonight with starting quarterback Kenny Pickett out.
Mitchell Trubisky will be tasked with taking down this Patriots defense.
Let's jump into my first touchdown scorer.
