The New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers in their home opener at Foxborough. Currently, the Patriots are under pressure in Week 2, needing a win after last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Drake Maye's performance will be closely scrutinized as he plays without A.J. Brown, who is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain. The game is in progress, and updates from the first quarter indicate the Patriots have just received the ball following a Steelers punt after the Patriots deferred the coin toss.
