FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A year ago, Aaron Rodgers engineered a drive at Gillette Stadium that helped the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the team that went on to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. That version of Rodgers wasn’t anywhere to be found in Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots. Instead, the future Hall of Famer looked every bit like a 42-year-old playing his last NFL season. Rodgers wasn’t solely to blame. The Steelers’ offensive line surrendered four sacks, while veteran wide rece...

After struggling in Week 1, many of the issues with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense were brushed aside due to a lack of preseason work and the need to get some snaps under their belts. Those concerns aren’t being brushed aside after an ugly Week 2 performance in a 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots on the road. The Steelers averaged just 3.5 yards per play against the Patriots and turned the ball over twice. They struggled to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers and didn’t establish a consist...

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense didn’t do much of anything positive in the team’s 20-3 Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots. And TE Pat Freiermuth put some of the blame on himself, blaming the angle he took on a poor block on the first play of the game for some of the team’s struggles in the first half. “We just gotta stay on the rhythm. I mean, we moved the ball, we just gotta continue to make explosive plays, and when the opportunities come we gotta make ’em. Including myself. On the firs...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Postgame reactions, commentary and analysis following the Steelers’ 20-3 loss to the Patriots. Long time coming There were various points in the game when it looked as if the tide might turn in the Steelers’ favor.

For the second time in two 2026 games, Drake Maye wasn’t great. On Sunday, he didn’t need to be. New England’s defense teed off on Aaron Rodgers and an impotent Pittsburgh Steelers offense to lead a 20-3 Patriots win. The Patriots forced two fumbles from the 42-year-old Steelers quarterback. One of them resulted in a 36-yard loss and a fourth-and-43 punt. The second resulted in a scoop-and-score touchdown that extended New England’s lead to 20-3 and iced the win. New England then ended Pittsbu...

The Pittsburgh Steelers had one of their ugliest offensive showings in recent memory in a 20-3 loss to New England Patriots on Sunday. Unfortunately, those problems included DK Metcalf once again. After struggling with drops and committing some unnecessary penalties in the season opener, Metcalf was arguably worse against the Patriots. “Very frustrating, especially starting with myself. But we just gotta be better, all-around as a group, on offense,” Metcalf said via the KDKA Steelers Extra Po...
Getty Images Welcome to the Week 2 grades! The second week of the season is always a big one, especially for all the teams with an 0-1 record. If there’s one thing you don’t want ever want to do in the NFL, it’s start the season at 0-2. Since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020, only eight out of 51 teams have bounced back from an 0-2 start to make the postseason. Basically, the odds are NOT in your favor. That’s not great news for the Texans, Titans, and Falcons, all teams that are now ...

Mike McCarthy was supposed to help the Pittsburgh Steelers fix their offense when they hired him as head coach. However, through the first two games of the year, the Steelers’ offense has been putrid. It’s only scored 16 points in two games, including only putting up three points in a 20-3 loss to the New […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the New England Patriots in ugly fashion on Sunday. The offense was dreadful, with Mike McCarthy’s unit mustering just three points and looking lifeless for the entire game. However, McCarthy was happy with the performance on the other side of the ball. The Steelers played strong defense to keep things interesting for most of the game. McCarthy said that unit gave the team a fighting shot. “I thought the defense played well enough to win the game. You hold ’em t...
