What to Know

It was all tied up at halftime, but Pittsburgh weren't quite Kansas City's equal in the second half when they met last week. Pittsburgh didn't finish too far behind, but the team still lost 37-42 to Kansas City. Pittsburgh got a solid performance out of Ben Roethlisberger, who passed for 452 yards and 3 touchdowns; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Tampa Bay beat Philadelphia 27-21. The success made it back-to-back wins for Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay's win lifted them to 2-0 while Pittsburgh's defeat dropped them down to 0-1-1. In their win, Tampa Bay relied heavily on Ryan Fitzpatrick, who passed for 402 yards and 4 touchdowns. Pittsburgh will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
