The New England Patriots have not won two straight games since November 2022. While head coach Mike Vrabel is not concerned about the past, it’s a streak his team will look to break as the Pittsburgh Steelers come to Foxboro on Sunday.

They were not able to capitalize, however, as the ensuing handoff resulted in a fumble by Rhamondre Stevenson that Pittsburgh recovered.
