Steelers defense shines as they topple Patriots in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh improved with a stout stop on fourth down as the defense held Tom Brady and New England to 279 passing yards and a lone Gostkowski field goal. Morgan Burnett sealed the win by knocking away Brady's final end zone throw, while the offense rallied to erase a previous slow second half. The win keeps Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes alive, sitting 8-5-1 and half a game ahead of Baltimore in the AFC North with two weeks left.
