The Pittsburgh Steelers have had their struggles playing in New England. They have lost seven of their last eight games at Gillette Stadium, though now-retired Tom Brady had something to do with that.
Could that trend change this week? The Steelers will visit the Patriots at 1 p.m. Sunday for a Week 3 matchup.
The Steelers (1-1) are coming off a deflating 31-17 loss to the Seahawks in the home-opener Sunday, when they were outgained 395-267.
New England (1-1) defeated the Dolphins, 33-27, as QB Drake Maye threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is previewing the matchup and providing an injury report.

Tomlin said DeShon Elliott is "questionable at best" to return to play against New England. Derrick Harmon and Joey Porter Jr. also remain questionable.

Tomlin points to interception in end zone, lack of judgment by Kaleb Johnson and defense wearing down in fourth quarter were turning points in the loss.
