How to watch the New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game in Week 2 of the NFL schedule

Week 2 of the NFL regular season is upon us, and the New England Patriots will be welcoming the Pittsburgh Steelers to town for their home opener. Here's how you can watch today's game.

The Patriots got off to a rough start in the NFL opener, losing to the Seattle Seahawks when Drake Maye threw an ugly interception in the end zone during the final seconds while needing a field goal to force overtime.

Pittsburgh, meanwhile, sputtered against the visiting Falcons in Week 1, but used a T.J. Watt pick six to put away Atlanta, which was playing with its third-string quarterback behind center. Aaron Rodgers threw for 221 yards and a touchdown in the win.

The two teams played one year ago, nearly to the day, also at Gillette Stadium. In that game, Pittsburgh's offense was largely held in check, but the Patriots turned the ball over five times and the Steelers left town with a 21-14 victory. 

Kickoff between the Patriots and Steelers today is set for 1 p.m. at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
