Week 15 at Pittsburgh Steelers

The last regular season game in Pittsburgh ended in controversy. Fans once again had to ask what is a catch after Jesse James dived towards the end zone causing the ball to hit the ground.

No matter what you think about the rule the Patriots came out on top and took home the victory.

The Steelers defense may not be as great as it once was, but the offense is still scoring at a high rate. Antonio Brown is one of the best wideouts in the league, and even though he loves to holdout in the offseason, Le’Veon Bell is an amazing running back.

Once again this will be another test for the Patriots defense. The front 7 will need to stop Bell before he gets going in the backfield. Also, Stephon Gilmore will be given the tough task of shutting down Brown.

The Patriots could lose all of these games, but that is pretty unlikely. I expect the Patriots to come out of these games 2-1. With Julian Edelman out in Week 2, I think the Jaguars will come out on top.

Next. Tom Brady to Dez Bryant has a ring to it. dark

You should mark these games on your calendar because they are going to be a doozy.
