The Steelers head to windy, blustery Foxborough, Mass., Sunday for a Week 9 battle with the New England Patriots.
Typically, the Steelers don't win games at Gillette Stadium if Tom Brady is starting, but 2013 is not showing the same Brady fans are used to seeing. He's among the bottom third of all passers in the league in most categories, and while a good chunk of that can be blamed on his lack of receiving options (although tight end Rob Gronkowski is now back), he doesn't look quite as sharp as he has in his Hall of Fame career.
He still poses a significant threat to the Steelers in this game, as Pittsburgh looks to keep their postseason hopes on life support as they reach the middle mark of the season.
