Another day, another cheating accusation tossed out against the Patriots.
Close to two decades after the Patriots trounced the Steelers, 41-27, in the 2004 AFC Championship Game at Heinz Field, two key players on that Pittsburgh squad alleged that Bill Belichick and Co. conned their way to a trip back to the Super Bowl.
On the latest podcast episode of “Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger”, Ben Roethlisberger and Jerome Bettis discussed that conference title game. According to them, the Patriots seemed to always be one step ahead of the Steelers during pivotal sequences that night.
“Hey, to be fair, the Patriots cheated,” Roethlisberger said.
