There was a palatable buzz inside Gillette Stadium on Sunday leading up the Week 3's Patriots-Steelers showdown. Julian Edelman and his red Patriots Hall of Fame jacket got the crowd into it before kickoff, and stars of the Celtics and Red Sox were also in attendance for the big game.

Fresh off being enshrined in the Patriots Hall of Fame on Saturday , Edelman was the "Keeper of the Light" and rang the bell atop the lighthouse at Gillette Stadium before Sunday's game. He got a hand from his young daughter, Lily Grace.
