Ezekiel Elliott turned out to be the better backup than Mitch Trubisky on Thursday night as the New England Patriots upset the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18 at Acrisure Stadium.
Starting in place of running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Elliott accounted for 140 yards and a touchdown, including 72 on seven receptions.
Starting in place of quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle), Trubisky passed for 190 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 30 yards and another score. But he also had an interception, and Pittsburgh was only 3 of 14 on third down and 1 of 3 on fourth down.
