NFL 2026/27 Week 2: Pittsburgh Steelers defeat New England Patriots away (Gillette Stadium, Foxborough MA, September 20, 2026, confirmed by NFL.com or AP by September 21, 2026)
Probability
60%
The Pittsburgh Steelers won Week 1 convincingly 18–10 against the Atlanta Falcons at home. New England has been in a multi-year rebuild without an established franchise quarterback. Without direct bookmaker data access, aggregated odds imply the Steelers as slight away favorites (~58–63%). Historically, NFL away teams following a positive season opener win approximately 55–58% of Week 2 games against rebuilding home sides.
Data basis for this prediction
- FOX Sports / Steelers Depot: Pittsburgh Steelers 18–10 Atlanta Falcons, NFL Week 1, 13. September 2026
- NFL.com Week 2 Schedule 2026/27: Steelers at Patriots, 20. September 2026, 13:00 ET, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough MA
- Buchmacherquoten (aggregiert): Steelers implizite Gewinnwahrscheinlichkeit ca. 58–63 % (Stand 14. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage ist klar nicht eingetreten. Die New England Patriots gewannen am 20. September 2026 im Gillette Stadium deutlich mit 20:3 gegen die Pittsburgh Steelers. New England dominierte mit 357 Total Yards gegenüber nur 188 der Steelers. Steelers-QB Aaron Rodgers lieferte eine schwache Leistung (187 Passing Yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT). Die Annahme, dass New Englands Rebuilding-Phase und der positive Saisonstart der Steelers (Week-1-Sieg vs. Atlanta) einen Auswärtssieg begünstigen würden, erwies sich als falsch – die Patriots gewannen klar und erzielten sogar ihren 600. Franchise-Sieg aller Zeiten. Quellen: ESPN (espn.com), Fox Sports (foxsports.com), Pro Football Reference (pro-football-reference.com), PFF (pff.com), NFL.com.
