The New England Patriots can reverse a recent shortcoming when hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. New England dominated at home with Tom Brady at the helm, but they haven’t succeeded at Gillette Stadium lately. The Patriots are an NFL-worst 3-15 at home since the start of the 2023 season. The schedule gives the Patriots a golden opportunity to record a winning home record for the first season since 2020. New England will also host the Panthers in Week 4 before embarking on a three-game road stand, so there’s extra pressure to improve at home in September.
