In this Week 3 preview, the Steelers head to New England for a pivotal matchup against the Patriots, with both teams sitting at 1-1 and looking to avoid an early-season slide.

Joe and Brian break down the stakes, the quarterback contrast between Aaron Rodgers and Drake Maye, and the defensive identity crisis facing Pittsburgh after a rough outing against Seattle. With key injuries on both sides and betting lines tilting slightly toward the Steelers, this game could swing the season narrative in either direction.

We also dive into offensive matchups, coaching adjustments, and bold predictions—including why special teams and late turnovers might decide the outcome. Whether you’re looking for insider analysis or just want to know what to watch for on Sunday, this episode sets the tone for a high-pressure showdown in Foxborough.
