Patriots vs. Steelers used to be one of those games we all got up for. It was usually a late window or primetime game, and the Patriots usually came out on top. Not so much anymore. Maybe the Pats will string together two consecutive wins at some point, but it sure as hell ain’t this week. • This game will go down as one of the weirdest I have ever watched, or will ever watch. The Patriots simultaneously deserved to lose this game by five scores and win this game by three scores, which I didn’t even think was possible. • It’s just incredibly frustrating, because other than the very obvious elephant in the room, there was actually a lot to like about what I saw yesterday. Drake Maye was efficient. He was able to lead long scoring drives. He extended plays with his legs and was accurate.
