NFL fans are anticipating an ugly “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the Steelers and Patriots. Hours before kickoff at Acrisure Stadium, they are letting the league know about it.
The NFL posted a promo graphic Thursday featuring quarterbacks Bailey Zappe and Mitch Trubisky, both of whom entered the season as backups on their respective teams, and fans fired off their reactions on social media.

The Steelers have averaged 12 points per game over the last three weeks, while the Patriots have scored a total of 13 points in that span.
Yep, this one could get ugly.
