Show Notes

The Patriots took down the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-3 in week 2 to pick up their first win of the season in New England.

On this episode, BSJ’s Greg Bedard is joined by Nick Cattles as the recap the Patriots week 2 victory over the Steelers. They discuss the biggest storyline from the game which was once again a tough day for 3rd year QB Drake Maye. The two react to Maye’s disappointing performance and Greg even mentions that he rated this the worst game of Drake Maye’s career but when he rewatching the game he didn’t think it was as bad as he thought at first and admits he might have been a little harsh on criticizing Drake on Sunday. While not all has been great they discuss how Maye can improve this season.

The Patriots defense was a major factor in the win on Sunday and Greg still isn’t sure what to make of this Patriots defense after they dominated an old Aaron Rodgers in this game.

They also discuss the Patriots RB room and with Rhamondre Stevenson’s early fumble and TreVeyon Henderson being inserted into the lineup. They discuss the game for the duo and take a look at who will actually control the backfield entering week 3.

Finally they wrap up giving their 3 up and 3 downs from the week 2 victory!
