Pittsburgh for dharm His second came in the fourth quarter, when the Steelers held a four-point lead. It was the exact throw he couldn't make given the game context. BumpNrunGilm0re defends it, dharm32 steels it. Just when it looked like the Patriots would turn that takeaway into points, Brady threw one of the worst interceptions of his career.
Last week, during the loss in Miami, Brady took a horrible sack at the end of the first half that cost the Patriots three points. This week, he threw up this floater in the face of pressure. Thank you, joehaden Tom Brady just threw his first red zone interception since Dec. Brady got a chance to atone for his mistake, but couldn't come up with the final 21 yards he needed to get the Patriots into overtime.
It's rare to see Brady make a terrible mistake in the red zone and then fail to complete a game-tying drive in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. But this hasn't been a normal season for Brady, who hasn't played up to his normal standards. He finished 25 of 36 for yards, one touchdown, one pick, and a Big Ben's stat line was even uglier. He went 22 of 34 for yards, two touchdowns, two picks, and a Luckily for the Steelers, they had Jaylen Samuels , who powered the offense with yards on 19 carries 7.
Just BenBeingBen. Rob Gronkowski traditionally destroys the Steelers. Entering Sunday, he'd racked up 39 catches, yards, and eight touchdowns in six career games against Pittsburgh.
But he was invisible on Sunday as he continues to endure a down season that suggests he's on the downslope of his career. They sprung up at the worst possible moments too. A key and controversial pass-interference penalty preceded a Steelers touchdown in the first half, a holding penalty near the goal line occurred a couple plays before Brady's red-zone interception, and false start and holding penalties doomed their final series.
It's been a difficult rookie season for James Washington , who got called out by his quarterback a couple weeks ago and entered Sunday with 10 catches, 88 yards, and one touchdown. But he came up with a huge catch in the third quarter that reminded everyone why the Steelers took him in the second round.
He finished with a team-high 65 receiving yards on three catches in what was very easily the best game of his young career. Midway through the second quarter, the Patriots' punt team executed a brilliant coverage play to pin the Steelers at the 1-yard line. Fault Ryan Switzer for being unable to field the punt before it bounced, but credit the Patriots' special teams for an incredible volleyball-like play, which withstood Mike Tomlin's challenge.
At the end of the first half, the Patriots won the special teams war again. Credit Bill Belichick this time around. Faced with a fourth-and-1 on their own side of the 50 with a running clock, the Patriots lined up like they were going for it.

The one player they couldn't contain was Gronk, who ran straight through tight coverage and blasted the Steelers over and over again.
He finished with yards on nine catches. On the Patriots' game-winning drive, he caught three passes for 69 yards -- and that's not even including his two-point conversion. On Sunday, he strengthened his MVP case by completing 22 of 35 passes for yards, one touchdown, one pick, and an Brady faced more pressure than he's used to and his interception certainly deflated the Patriots considering it led to a Steelers' touchdown.
His stat line wasn't overly impressive. GoPats pic. The placement on this TB12 pass Well, Wilson suffered a second straight dismal outing and Brown suffered a serious injury in the early going on Sunday. In the first half, Brown suffered a lower leg injury that knocked him out of the game. He ended up heading back to the locker room. The Steelers said he suffered a calf injury and called him questionable to return.
But at halftime, Mike Tomlin revealed that Brown likely wasn't going to return. And then the team announced that he was heading to the hospital. The long-term implications of Brown's injury matters more than what happened on Sunday, but let's just note how incredibly unlucky the Steelers have been when it comes to their health against the Patriots.
For once, it'd be great if we could see these two teams play each other at full strength. Steelers will be without one of their Big Three for 4th straight game vs. Brown entered the game as the player with the best chance to threaten Brady's MVP candidacy.
But to unseat Brady, he needed to lead the Steelers to a win over the Patriots. Instead, he never really got the chance. He finished with two catches for 24 yards before suffering that injury. That will likely end his chance to win MVP and become the first receiver to eclipse the 2,yard mark.
Steelers WR Antonio Brown has a partially torn calf muscle, per source. Unlikely to play next week but expected back for the postseason. Hopefully, if the Steelers and Patriots meet again next month, Brown will be fully healthy to give us the matchup we've wanted for far too long. The Steelers didn't have all of their Killer B's, but they had enough offense. Roethlisberger was nearly flawless until his final play of the game.
He completed 22 of 30 passes for yards, two touchdowns, one pick, and a The Steelers answer! And Bell was the workhorse the Steelers needed, especially with Brown out. On 29 touches, he piled up yards and a touchdown. For so much of the game, he was unstoppable. The Steelers should be able to survive with Brown because Big Ben and Bell are more than capable of carrying the Steelers down the stretch before the playoffs begin.
Smith-Schuster racked up yards on six catches, including that incredible play that nearly set up the Steelers for a walk-off win. And the oft-maligned Bryant totaled 59 yards and hauled in an awesome one-handed touchdown catch.
Touchdown, Steelers!
