Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson could exorcise 2025 demons vs. Steelers

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is aiming to erase one of his worst performances from last season when facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2. In the team's 21-14 defeat to the Steelers, Stevenson lost two fumbles, a game that he hopes to forget as he prepares for the rematch. The Steelers' defense is expected to be relentless, constantly pressuring Stevenson to force turnovers during the match.

Following the Falcons' game, Stevenson remarked on the team's aggressive approach, stating, "Just a great team all around. They're going after that ball first and foremost. They're 100 percent on each play. There's no lows on that defense. They're trying to get the ball carrier." Last week against the Seattle Seahawks, Stevenson struggled with limited touches, rushing for only 51 yards on 18 carries.

The veteran player is determined to improve on that performance as he endeavors to overcome the challenges posed by the same Steelers defense that posed difficulties last season.
