The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to rebound after a disappointing end to their 2019 campaign.

They'll have their work cut out for them in Week 1, as they travel to Gillette Stadium to take on the New England Patriots. The Patriots are coming off of a season that saw them finish with a record of 12-4 and make it all the way to the AFC Wild Card Game before being eliminated by the Tennessee Titans.
With a new quarterback under center in Cam Newton, the Patriots will be eager to prove that they're still among the NFL's elite. But with a defense as stout as Pittsburgh's, New England will have their work cut out for them.
If there's one thing that's certain in this game, it's that both teams will be playing with a chip on their shoulder.
