The New England Patriots were well represented at the wild-card game between the four-seed Pittsburgh Steelers and five-seed Houston Texans on Monday Night Football.
New England sent director of pro personnel A.J. Highsmith and pro scout Bob Kronenberg to Acrisure Stadium, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Highsmith, 35, was hired shortly following the arrival of head coach Mike Vrabel, capping off stints with the San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans by joining his father, Alonso, in New England — replacing former director of player personnel Patrick Stewart.
Kronenberg, 54, was hired in 2024 following a stint with the Atlanta Falcons from 2012-2020.
The Patriots will play the winner of the contest next weekend in the divisional round at Gillette Stadium.
