The New England Patriots started slowly against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon. However, they finally got things going in the second quarter with a drive that ended in quarterback Drake Maye finding tight end Hunter Henry for a touchdown.
It was a solid drive where the Patriots established balance and worked their way down the field. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte ultimately drew a pass interference penalty that put the team in scoring position. The drive itself took nine plays, 77 yards and 4:08 off the clock.
It settled the game down for the Patriots after the team gave up 14 unanswered points to the Steelers early.

The Patriots' ability to finish drives with points will be key for the team moving forward, especially if their defense continues to struggle.
