The Steelers were absolutely crushed by the New England Patriots and I don’t know how anyone could have them in their top-10 at this point.

Once a strength, the offensive line struggled against a defensive front filled with well coached no names and Michael Bennett. Guys like Juju-Smith Schuster and Big Ben didn’t move the needle at all, which is highly concerning.

On defense, the game looked almost comically easy for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. I expected more from T.J. Watt and that defensive line, but the Patriots looked unbothered by all of them.

I was almost speechless after that game and the Titans have to be thinking, “How on earth did those DL beat any of us in the preseason?”
