The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers kick off Week 14 with Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. New England enters the game on a five-game losing streak and is currently in an unusual position for the second overall draft pick. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh enters the game as the fifth overall seed in the AFC playoff race but needs a win with several teams close behind.
Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET, while the pregame show starts at 7 p.m. But who will be announcing the Week 14 matchup?
