The New England Patriots face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Dec.17 in NFL Week 15 of the 2017 season. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers have had some excellent games over the past decade, and that figures to continue this week. With home field advantage in the AFC Playoffs on the line, the Patriots and the Steelers might very well be playing for a Super Bowl appearance. No other team in the AFC appears to be a real threat to either juggernaut, and whichever team gets home field advantage will have a huge edge in a potential AFC Championship game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are on an eight game winning streak, and simply put, this offense is on fire. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 500 yards last week, Antonio Brown is in the MVP conversation, and Le’Veon Bell continues to solidify himself as the league’s top running back. The defense isn’t too shabby either, but it was dealt a massive blow when Ryan Shazier got hurt in Week 13. Nevertheless, the Steelers are playing excellent football and are considered by some to be the Super Bowl favorites.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots had an unexpected loss last Monday night to the Miami Dolphins. In the past two games, Tom Brady has only one touchdown pass and three interceptions. He obviously needs to play better for the Patriots to repeat as league champions. The defense has also struggled at times, but with Bill Belichick on the sidelines, does anyone really doubt the Patriots’ ability to make a deep playoff run?

The Patriots have had the Steelers’ number in recent games, and Tom Brady has been lights-out against Pittsburgh with a 10-2 record in his career. Since 2007, Brady has averaged more than 300 yards per game and has thrown 22 touchdowns (and no interceptions) against the Steelers. It should be a fantastic game, so make sure to tune in!
