Gronkowski Confident Patriots Will Beat Steelers 2025

Rob Gronkowski, former Patriots tight end, confidently predicts the New England Patriots will defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2025 matchup, continuing a long-standing trend of Patriots dominance over the Steelers. Gronkowski cited the Patriots' historical success against Pittsburgh, including three AFC Championship wins and an 8-2 record against the Steelers since 2018, asserting "We've got the Steelers' number." Despite changes in coaching and quarterback with Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye leading New England, Gronkowski believes the Patriots will make the playoffs and win more than seven games this season. While the Steelers had a better 2024 record and made the playoffs, the game will be played at Gillette Stadium, where the Steelers have struggled historically, having won only once since 2000. Analysts note both teams face challenges on offense and are not clear Super Bowl contenders, but Gronkowski remains optimistic about the Patriots' prospects under new leadership. The rivalry's history and Patriots' recent edge fuel Gronkowski's confidence that New England will continue to come out on top in this key AFC matchup.
