The Patriots picked a bad time to lay an egg in Cleveland.
Or did they?
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Pats are more likely than not, going to bounce back this weekend in Pittsburgh and give the NFL's top team a run for its money.
"Typically in this league, good teams that come off bad games usually can respond with some good performances," Schefter said on WEEI's Dennis and Callahan. "And it won't surprise me if New England comes out and plays a very good game. The problem is, Pittsburgh hasn't played great lately. They nearly gave away the game on Monday night to Cincinnati. And Pittsburgh, to me, might just be the best team in the NFL right now. And you're going to play there, on a Sunday night, tough environment. This is about as tough a matchup as the Patriots could have at this point in the season."
