The New England Patriots, to put it lightly, have had a rough season. The once-proud franchise that won six Super Bowls during the Tom Brady era, is 2–10 on the year, has lost five straight games, and has scored just one touchdown (and 13 combined points) in its last three outings.
That all makes what’s going to happen on Thursday night all the more brutal for NFL fans—New England will be taking on the Steelers in a Thursday Night Football game that feels like must-flee TV.
The Patriots' social media team tried its best to fire up fans on Wednesday, posting this on X:
