Patriots at Home Against Steelers | New England Patriots News

The Patriots return home to Gillette Stadium for their first Sunday showdown against the Steelers in a rematch of last year’s gritty 21-14 loss — and this time, they’re aiming to turn the tide. With Pittsburgh as the second of four straight playoff-caliber opponents on their early-season slate, New England needs a win to jumpstart their season. Historically dominant at home (6-2 vs. Pittsburgh), the Patriots have carved out playoff success against the Steel City squad, even if the all-time series leans Steelers’ way. This will be their 37th meeting — and their first-ever regular-season game at Gillette was also against Pittsburgh, back in 2002, when they pulled off the upset. Can they repeat that magic? The stage is set for a high-stakes homecoming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
