PITTSBURGH — Casey Hampton isn't afraid of the New England Patriots.
Then again, the Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle admits he doesn't have any idea on how to beat the Patriots either.
The Steelers are 1-6 against New England when Tom Brady starts at quarterback, including a 39-26 loss at Heinz Field last year.
Pittsburgh is 128-54-1 against the rest of the league over that span, winning a pair of Super Bowls in the process. Neither of their Super Bowl runs, however, included victories over the Patriots.
The Steelers stress the Patriots aren't in their heads.
Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who faced the Patriots two or three times a year while playing for the Jets, says the Steelers need to focus on the present and not worry about the past.
