Sadly, the Steelers lost more of those battles than they won, especially in the playoffs. However, both teams are very different now. They\u2019ll meet in Week 3 this year,<\/a> with both of them looking to get back to their winning ways. But the Patriots are still making significant changes to their roster.<\/p>\n ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that<\/a> the Patriots are releasing safety Jabrill Peppers. Peppers has been in the league since 2017, originally being a first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns. He\u2019s been with the Patriots since 2022 as a starter for them.

Many of their players work to make Pittsburgh a better place. Cam Heyward is a perfect example, winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2023. However, many former Steelers appear for events as well.<\/p>\n The team shared on Twitter that Friday<\/a> is the last day to sign up for the 2025 Steelers Run Walk. Four-time Super Bowl champion Randy Grossman will also be there. Grossman was a tight end for the Steelers from 1974-81, helping them become a dynasty. This event is set for Sept. 1, and hopefully, many Steelers fans will be able to participate and meet Grossman.<\/p>\n This is your last chance to sign up for the 2025 Steelers Run Walk \u203c\ufe0f<\/p>\n Don’t miss your chance to high five 4x Super Bowl champion Randy Grossman!<\/p>\n \u2014 Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) August 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n
