Recap: Patriots 27 Steelers 24
And now, we address the elephant in the room. As expected, these two AFC heavyweights duked it out on every side of the ball. Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady were on point, while Rex Burkhead and Le'Veon Bell put yardage on their cleats. The Steelers defense was surprisingly competent against an offense that usually jobs them out, even forcing their first interception against the Pats since the 2005 season. Unfortunately, the Steelers still fell short against their eternal postseason kryptonite, although not without controversy. I'm not the biggest Pittsburgh fan in the world, but I can feel sympathy for any team that gets robbed. Folks, there are no ifs or buts about it: the Steelers got robbed. Apparently, you have to break the laws of physics in order to actually score something nowadays, and Jesse James failed to keep the football from moving two inches once he hauled it in. If that wasn't enough, I absolutely LOVED the fake spike play call...but why on EARTH do you throw up the middle? Have you learned nothing from Super Bowl 49?! These Patriots may have escaped Heinz Field with the W, but we all know the Steelers won't take this loss easy. Expect a January clash like no other, ladies and gentlemen.
