Week 3's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots matchup featured two quarterbacks from different generations going at it. Aaron Rodgers landed in Foxborough with a mission: getting the second win of the season for the Steelers, while Drake Maye was set to build on the Week 2 win over divisional rivals, the Miami Dolphins.
Both squads have renewed expectations after experiencing busy offseasons that put them in a position to make noise in their division and perhaps in the conference. They came off with different results, as the Steelers couldn't keep up with the Seattle Seahawks (31-17), while the Patriots secured the first win of the season.
