First half highlights:

Nothing really fun in this highlight. Both teams playing extremely well on defense, or extremely bad on offense.

Second half highlights:

Both team scored a field goal in this half but it was Devin McCourty's interception return that was the difference maker in this game. It give the Patriots the only touchdown of the game and was well enought to give his team the win.

"So frustrating", that's what the Steelers head coach said after the game. How can you outgain your opponent on offense 207 to 96 and still lose the game ? A costly turnover that led the Patriots to a game winning touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Devin McCourty intercepted Big Ben and brought back the pick for 53 yards and the touchdown. Tough loss for the Steelers who had an opportunity to bring their record to .500.

Next week: the god damn Baltimore Ravens !!
