New England Patriots Depth Chart

Hello and welcome to another edititon of 'Live Blogging on Shish on Professional Football'. Tonight it is Pittsburgh Steelers taking on New England Patriots. The Steelers are trying to rebound from a 2018 season, where they missed the Playoffs. They had a couple of distractions in Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. Bell went to New York Jets, while Antonio Brown has found his way to Patriots.

As for the other 6-time Super Bowl Champion Patriots. They just signed Antonio Brown and question for this storied franchise is will Brown be productive like Randy Moss, or not as useful as Chad Ochocinco. 

It is Pittsburgh Steelers taking on New England Patriots, coming up shortly.
​

The Patriots have unveiled their 6th Super Bowl Championship Banner. 

The other 6-time Super Bowl Champion Steelers are in their road white jerseys, black helmets, and gold pants. While the Defending Champion Patriots are in their home navy jerseys, silver helmets and pants. The Patriots will have a Super Bowl LIII Champion Logo on the left shoulder of the jersey.

Final Thoughts:
Patriots loves playing the Steelers. And they proved it once again. This game and what was going on this week, makes you feel that the Patriots Dynasty will not come to an end in 2019. They are going to make any fans of AFC Teams not named Kansas City Chiefs wish NBA, NHL, or NCAA MBK will start as fast as possible. Or if AFC Fans have a Major League Baseball Team contending, you might as will watch them this year. It might be very predictable as to who will represent the AFC in 2019.

The Patriots will go to their House of Horrors in Miami Gardens, to face the Dolphins, Next Sunday. Looks like it may not happen. But then again September is not the Patriots best month. The Steelers will host the Seahawks, Next Week.
