Patriots vs. Steelers Recap

     The Patriots lost a really exciting game to Pittsburgh.  I really thought we had it at the end, but as was the story all game long, the pocket collapsed around Brady and he coughed up the ball.  The offensive line was overmatched by a big Pittsburgh defensive line.
     Ben Roethlisberger executed his game plan brilliantly and broke down the Patriots secondary immediately.  He was spreading the ball to all of his weapons and have success with quick hits as well as 10-15 yard passes to Wallace, Miller, and even hitting his backs.  Pittsburgh maintained a steady ground game that took pressure off of their quarterback and kept the Patriots defense on their toes.  Pittsburgh looked better on both sides of the ball compared to New England.  Pittsburgh's defense shut down Wes Welker by holding to 39 yards and did not allow the Pats to run the ball.  The Patriots were outmatched today and hopefully they can recover and play Patriots football against the New York Football Giants next week.
