Ssssshhh.
Granted, from an objective standpoint, the road wins over previously undefeated Indianapolis and Dallas may have been bigger...but no win this season was more smugly satisfying than this one.
You would think that, after having two potential Superbowl trips derailed by the Patriots in this decade alone, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be smart enough not to shoot their mouths off before heading into Foxboro to take on the undefeated Brady/Belichick colossus. Thankfully, the Steelers are not very bright.
Earlier this season, they gave the Patriots all the bulletin board material they could ever need. But apparently that wasn’t enough, because this week, one of their players had to go and guarantee a win in Foxboro. At this point, a wise man would shut his mouth, but noooo: the defensive back who made the foolish guarantee then publicly dared the Patriots to throw the ball at him!
And so they did. Thanks for the suggestion, dumbfuck!
Granted, this was far from a perfect game. The defense got pounded on the ground for the second consecutive week, the offense isn’t even trying to run the ball anymore, and Randy Moss dropped an wide-open touchdown pass late in the game, thus denying Brady his second career 400 yard game and leaving him four TD passes short of Peyton Manning’s single season record.
However, with the Payback Bowl on tap next week against the Jets, the record might fall before the end of the first quarter.
