The New England Patriots dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night and it sure looks like 2019 will be another fun year for Pats fans.

I honestly think things couldn’t have gone better than that. The New England Patriots dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers for 60 minutes and started their season off on the right foot.

This was already going to be a special night for New England. We got the opportunity to see the 6th Super Bowl banner be unraveled.

Pats fans got a nice surprise during the pregame ceremony. Recently retired Rob Gronkowski made an appearance and the crowd was happy to see him to say the least.

When the game started you could tell it was going to be a good one. It only took two drives for New England to get some points on the board.

Now it goes without saying that the defense had a good game. They held James Connor to less than 25 yards and Pittsburgh only put 3 points on the board.

It looks like all the hype they were getting in the offseason was no joke. The rest of the NFL has been put on notice.

New England’s offense had a great performance as well. Whenever you are able to put up 30-plus points that is bound to be the case.

But let’s get to the players who really stood out. Here are the 3 stars from the New England Patriots shellacking of the Steelers on Sunday night.
