PITTSBURGH — We’re underway at Acrisure Stadium, as the NFL’s only teams with six Lombardi Trophies are squaring off in Week 2 of the NFL’s regular season. After 30 minutes of play, the Patriots took a 10-3 halftime lead on Nelson Agholor’s 44-yard touchdown catch with 22 seconds left until intermission.
After the Steelers opened the game with a punt, the Patriots (who deferred following winning the coin toss) took an early lead on Nick Folk’s 28-yard field goal. Both teams then traded interceptions, with Minkah Fitzpatrick’s pick of Mac Jones setting up Chris Boswell’s game-tying, 36-yard field goal. The two teams traded punts before Jones hit Agholor for the go-ahead score just before halftime.
All but one of Jones’ 10 first half completions went to either Jones or Jakobi Myers, who caught a team-high five passes during the game’s opening half. Jones out-played Pittsburgh quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who committed his first turnover of the year when he was picked off by Jalen Mills near the end of the first quarter.
