Summary:
This was supposed to be the game of the week but Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just underwent surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his knee. The Steelers have weapons all over the field but Roethlisberger is what makes that team go on offense. Defensively the Steelers have been “bend but don’t break” but still rank as a top 12 unit. New England is rolling with the return of quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots have scored 33 or more points in both of Brady’s starts this season. New England has a top five defense and should shut down whatever quarterback Pittsburgh puts out there. I like the Patriots to win big on the road.
