7 winners and losers from Patriots’ win over the Steelers

Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live-viewing the Patriots' Week 2 contest.

OLBs Elijah Ponder & Gabe Jacas : The Patriots young edge duo each played 36 snaps on Sunday as they were relied upon following the injury to Dre'Mont Jones. Success followed. Ponder ended the day with a sack and additional QB hit to go along with three TFLs and a scoop-and-score touchdown to seal Sunday's victory. Jacas continued to build upon his early season momentum with a pair of pressures and a QB hit on a bootleg, while also recording his first career interception.

New England 's four-man front saw their pressure production improve this week, and the young pass rushers were a key part to that success.
