Andrew Luck will take his Indianapolis Colts into Pittsburgh to face Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers on Sunday night. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will go into Philadelphia to face Michael Vick and the Eagles.

It will be a battle of a superstar quarterback and one unproven QB trying to earn his stripes. 

Roethlisberger is already established quarterbacks in the NFL. He is expected to guide their team to success year after year, or at least, garnish personal numbers with great seasons.

The Colts are 1-0 and Luck had a big day going 10/16 with 188 yards and two touchdowns. They went on to demolish the St. Louis Rams 38-3.

They face a Steelers team that lost 23-24 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. Both Roethlisberger and Vick spent little time on the field as both players, though tough, are injury prone.

Roethlisberger went 7/8 with 49 yards passing. Brian Leftwich hit the field for the Steelers and went 3/6 with 14 yards and 1 touchdown, while first-year player, Jarrod Johnson went 3/6 with 93 yards and 1 touchdown.

You can catch the game at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT later tonight.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will go into Philadelphia to face Michael Vick and the Eagles on Monday as the last battle of Week 2.

The Eagles and Patriots will hook up for their preseason battle. As mentioned above, the Eagles beat the Steelers by one point. Rookie Nick Foles stole the show, throwing for 144 yards and two touchdowns.

Philly also has players like Trent Edwards and Mike Kafka commanding the offense on the field. Edwards had a TD after going 12/20 with 106 yards. Kafka had a tougher day with a 5/9 day tallying 31 yards but throwing an interception.

The Pats are coming off a tight win over the New Orleans Saints.
