The Patriots will rock their classic throwback uniforms as they have for the last several years. Pittsburgh also announced their alternative uniforms for the season , releasing new throwbacks dedicated to the 1933 season when they were known as the Pittsburgh Pirates.

We're excited to unveil our new throwback uniforms which not only pay tribute to the origins of the Steelers franchise but also to the deep connection we have to our hometown of Pittsburgh," Steelers President Art Rooney II said . "It's especially fitting that we'll debut these uniforms on Sunday night, October 26 when we play the Green Bay Packers – another franchise in the league with a long and rich history.

The Patriots hold a lead against the Steelers in all-time matchups, edging them 18-16 including a 4-1 record in the playoffs. Pittsburgh will look to move one game closer to .500 against New England with a Week 3 victory, while also making them 0-1 in their throwback uniforms this season.
