Not even the biggest NFL fans in the world are hyped up for this week’s edition of “Thursday Night Football.” To be fair, tonight’s game will feature the Patriots and Steelers.
The Patriots have looked anemic on offense all season long. It doesn’t matter if it’s Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe under center.
As for the Steelers, their offense showed some signs of life before Kenny Pickett went down with an ankle injury. Mitch Trubisky will fill in as the starter until further notice.
With kickoff less than 12 hours away, the Patriots released a graphic for their Week 14 matchup. The reactions to their post were quite comical.
It’s very evident that football fans aren’t looking forward to a slugfest between the Patriots and Steelers.

It wouldn’t surprise us if Prime Video’s Al Michaels cracks a joke – or two – about tonight’s game.
The Steelers are six-point favorites over the Patriots.
