Patriots face Steelers in Week 2 with staff predictions

The New England Patriots will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 20, 2026, in Week 2 of the NFL season. The Patriots look to recover from a disappointing Week 1 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, where they lost despite having a 10-point lead. Quarterback Drake Maye had a rough outing, throwing three interceptions, and the team is also without star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is on injured reserve. The Steelers struggled but managed to secure a victory against the Atlanta Falcons. Patriots Wire staff have made predictions for the game, leaning towards a Patriots win, with varied scores ranging from 21-16 to 28-17.
