The Pittsburgh Steelers played host to The New England Patriots Sunday at Heinz Field. The Patriots have owned the Steelers over the years, holding a 7-2 record overall against the Steelers since 2002. The Steelers had not beaten the Patriots since 2004 so Sunday seemed like the day the streak should end.
The Steelers started out the game dominating the first quarter. They chewed up 13 of the 15 minutes and ran 25 plays scoring 10 points. Big Ben's favorite receiver in the quarter was Heath Miller. He threw to Heath 7 times completing 6 passes, 3 of which for first downs. On the other side of the ball, the Steelers defense held the Patriots to one 3 and out drive during the first quarter, which happened to be the only time the Patriots had the ball in the first quarter. Throughout the game however play start to pick up for the Patriots as they came within six points of the Steelers in the final minutes of the game. This made the game a big time nail bitter for the Steelers fans. The game however ended well for the Steelers as they got their first win against the Patriots since 2004. The final score of the game was 25-17. The Steelers however cannot celebrate this win too long as they play the division rival Baltimore Ravens in hopes to get back at them for the embarassing butt whopping they took in the first week of the season. It should be a spectacular game to watch.
Here We Go STEELERS!
This definitely was a great game for the Steelers. It was nice to see our defense actually shut down Tom Brady for once. He always seems to light us up. It was unusual to see Ben throw it 50 times but it worked. Antonio Brown did a good job replacing Ward I thought and it was a good well rounded win for the Steelers. 6-2.
