The Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New England Patriots in a must-win Week 15 matchup at Heinz Field. Here’s how to watch.

After three straight losses, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of a big win. Well, no win in the AFC comes bigger than defeating the New England Patriots. While Tom Brady and company fight for the conference title, Pittsburgh is simply looking to claim their postseason spot and restart their winning streak.

It seems the Pittsburgh fanbase has lost confidence in their once unstoppable Steelers. The defense is struggling, injuries are pilling up and Mike Tomlin’s seat is growing hotter by the week. A win over the Patriots is almost a must if this team is going to regain momentum before it’s too late.

They’ll likely be without James Conner once again, meaning Jaylen Samuels will man the backfield. This could lead to another pass-heavy offense led by Ben Roethlisberger. He’ll get an old friend back as Eli Rogers was activated to the roster this week, replacing the injured Ryan Switzer in the lineup.

Artie Burns is the man to watch on defense. After losing his starting job to Coty Sensabaugh three weeks ago, Burns has worked his way back into first team reps. His role this Sunday isn’t clear, but it sounds as if he will play most of the game.

New England is never easy. It’s going to be a fight until the very end in Pittsburgh as one of the NFL’s best rivalries square off. For the Steelers, this game means more than a win over the Pats. In the next three weeks, it could be the difference between the AFC North, a playoff spot, and possibly, not making the postseason.

Next. How the postseason determines Tomlin's future. dark
