Instant analysis from Patriots’ 20-3 win over Steelers

New England secured a dominant twenty to three victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday during their home opener at Gillette Stadium. The defensive unit smothered veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the opposing offense throughout the contest.

TreVeyon Henderson contributed to the scoring with a thirty-nine yard touchdown run during his season debut, while Eli Ponder added a nineteen yard fumble recovery for another score. Drake Maye completed fourteen of twenty-two passing attempts for two hundred eight yards alongside one interception.

With this triumph, coach Mike Vrabel successfully steered the squad away from a potential zero-two start to the season.
