Patriots going into their week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers were seeking redemption for their implosion against the Seattle Seahawks. The game started rough for the Patriots as on their first drive they fumble the ball. However, the Steelers could not cash in on the fumble.

Before the Patriots took the field against the Seahawks in the NFL Kickoff game, they had to deal with something that few NFL teams deal with in opening games: watching the opposing team raise a Super Bowl banner as losers of the Super Bowl.
