Patriots News: Pats need more pass catchers… on defense

Following an opening defeat to Seattle at Lumen Field, the New England Patriots are preparing to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 action on September 20. Head coach Mike Vrabel has cautioned his squad about the challenge posed by Pittsburgh, while quarterback Drake Maye looks to redirect focus toward evening the team's record at .500.

To reinforce their defensive front ahead of the contest, New England brought in experienced defensive tackle DaQuan Jones. Additionally, the Patriots enter the matchup favored by 4.5 points against a Steelers team that recently shifted toward zone coverage defensively.

The upcoming contest will feature CBS's primary broadcast team, with Jim Nantz handling play-by-play duties, J.J. Watt providing color analysis, and Tracy Wolfson reporting from the sidelines.
