After one week, the New England Patriots are bringing in experience to their defense.

The Patriots look to continue to improve the team on all fronts as the latest NFL season is officially underway.

After a tough Week 1 loss, the Patriots are reportedly signing a familiar face from Buffalo to bolster their defensive line.

The New England defense made Aaron Rodgers life very difficult on Sunday, and Cory Durden made sure to send his best wishes.

If we accept that September, by appearance but certainly not stakes, is an extension of the NFL preseason, last Sunday starts to make a lot more sense. Drake Maye looked improved from Week 1, but still not sharp?

New England will be without cornerback Carlton Davis (neck), with edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones (foot) and backup center Ben Brown (knee) questionable. The Patriots expect to have running back TreVeyon Henderson in the lineup — the second-year back missed Week 1 with an ankle issue but was a full participant in practice this week.

As we’ve done for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jake Brockhoff and I will cover the opposing team’s defense.
