As the NFL schedule falls each team receives a bye week and it was the Patriots turn. Coming off of a long and tough game against the Cowboys, the Patriots, need it more than ever. This is going to give the team much needed rest and time to prepare for their toughest game of the season next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is going to be a clash of the top offense in the league against the legendary Dick LaBeau led defense of the Steelers. Coming in to the week the Steelers are only allowing only 17 points per game and only 270 yards per game coming in 2nd and 3rd in those categories.
As the papers have shown all week this is going to come down to a matchup between two of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL, Roethlishberger and Brady. Both are multiple super bowl champs and both are highly praised for their skill sets. Coming in to this game more pressure falls upon Roethlisberger to show up because Brady is portrayed as Gods Gift to football(which he is) and is widely considered the best quarterback in the NFL. Look for the Steeler offense to come out strong with a couple of deep balls from the big arm of Big Ben.
