Pittsburgh is without without injured Maurkice Pouncey and suspended LeVeon Bell and Martavis Bryant. Bryant as a rookie 26 receptions. Bell rushed for 1,361 yards and 8 TDs. These are no small losses to say the least.

We do not read too much into preseason results, but Pittsburgh wanted to sure up their defense in the offseason. However, the Steelers defense leaked big plays and points in the preseason, a continuation from the past two seasons.

But Brady has been great to Pittsburgh with a 7-2 straight up record against the Steelers, including 3-0 at home, with 20 touchdowns and three interceptions. In his past four starts against them, he has completed 69 percent of his passes for 14 touchdowns and no interceptions.
