Pittsburgh looks to avoid another home upset against a 2-win team when reeling New England visits

The NFL used to come to a near standstill whenever the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots met. The Patriots (2-10) are simply looking for something — anything — to build on amid a five-game losing streak that has a team that used to pick last in each round of the draft nearly every year at the height of the Tom Brady era to somehow perhaps pick first. The Steelers (7-5) are better off in the standings but can't seem to get off the treadmill of mediocrity.
