Steelers Week 2 grades in loss to Patriots

September 22, 2026

Following a difficult twenty to three defeat against the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers have fallen to a one and two record. The offensive unit faced intense criticism after struggling significantly through both passing and running plays at Gillette Stadium, leading to poor evaluations for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, receiver DK Metcalf, and the offensive line under coach Mike McCarthy.
