Steelers Vs. Patriots Score & Highlights

Steelers vs Patriots score & highlights. Steelers vs Patriots was Sunday night football's epic battle. The Steelers going in to the week were #1 in the AFC North, and the Patriots were #2 in the AFC East. Both are strong contenders going in to the post-season, and either of them would make a great bid for the AFC seat at the Super Bowl. However, to get there they would have to likely meet again and then also overcome the Colts, who are #1 in the AFC South.

Last night, the Patriots won over the Steelers 39-26, and the game was a great one. Tom Brady lead the way, using laser like precision to cut through the Steelers' world renowned defense. Although the defense is nothing like it was in the days of the "Steel Curtain", it is still one of the best in the league. Defeating Roethlisberger's team is no small feat for the Pats.

Tom Brady threw an amazing 350 yards during the game - rookie tightend Rob Gronkowski was passed the ball for three amazing TDs.

The Steelers held in there as well - although their big efforts didn't end up giving them enough to win the game.

NFL Power Rankings Week 5 Bring Pittsburgh Steelers to Top

The NFL Power Rankings week 5 bring the Pittsburgh steelers to the top. The reason I say this is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have made us remember back to the days of the Steel Curtain in the 1970s when "Mean" Joe Green, LC Greenwood, Ernie Holmes and Dwight White didn't let a single point through after the Steelers lost their QB Terry Bradshaw in 1976.

While this defense has let some points by, they've held in quite well considering that "Big Ben" Roethlisberger has been on NFL suspension for 4 weeks after sexual attack allegations. The fact that they've managed to be 3-1 during the entire time is quite amazing.

Then again, the Steeler defense has Troy Polamalu, James Harrison, and Lawrence Timmons. They have done incredibly well so far this year.

In the AFC, the Steelers are the team to beat...especially once Big Ben is back. That's why the NFL Power Rankings week 5 put Steelers on the top.
