New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had many positive things to say this week about Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The Steelers will try to get back on track this week after a head-scratching loss to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, but winning won't be an easy task against what figures to be an angry Patriots squad. Belichick's team suffered one of the most insane losses in NFL history in Week 14 when the Miami Dolphins scored on a 69-yard lateral play to earn a stunning 34-33 victory.
But in true Belichick fashion, he's way more concerned about the future than the past.
And more specifically, he's concerned about what Brown and Smith-Schuster bring to the table on a weekly basis. Here's what Belichick had to say about the duo, courtesy of Sam Quinn of 247Sports.
“Yeah, you’re not going to get anybody better than these two guys, plus the quarterback,” Belichick said. “They’ve got a lot of other guys, too, but I mean, these two receivers are elite – elite elite. “
There's no doubt that the Steelers' star receivers will challenge the Patriots' secondary in what figures to be an entertaining matchup.
Mike Tomlin's team would love to forget about the Raiders loss by scoring a win over their conference rivals, and it would help the Steelers move a step closer to securing the AFC North title.
After this week's matchup, Pittsburgh will hit the road for a clash with the New Orleans Saints in Week 16.
