Two AFC teams with quarterback issues will take the field for the Week 14 edition of "Thursday Night Football."

After falling to the Chargers on Sunday, the Patriots will head to Pittsburgh for a battle with the Steelers. Bailey Zappe, who replaced Mac Jones as the starting QB, failed to lead a single scoring drive against Los Angeles, marking the third straight week in which New England failed to hit double digits.

The Steelers similarly struggled in Week 13, totaling just 10 points in a loss to the Cardinals. Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury in that contest and will not be available on Thursday, opening the door for backup Mitch Trubisky.

Can these offensive units break out of their recent slumps in this primetime matchup?
