The apex of the New England Patriots? 2017 schedule finally is here.
Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. Sunday afternoon. Heinz Field.
The AFC?s two best teams going head to head, with the winner more than likely earning home-field advantage throughout the postseason. The Patriots? upset loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday injected even more intrigue into the marquee matchup, as New England now could slip to third place in the AFC with a loss. Bill Belichick?s club hasn?t finished lower than second since 2009, earning seven consecutive first-round playoff byes. Given the stakes, the teams and the late-season setting, this Week 15 contest will be one of the biggest regular-season games of the Belichick/Tom Brady era ? maybe even the biggest.
