The man that should be the most upset about Judge Richard Berman vacating Tom Brady’s suspension? Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin. Since coming into the league, Tom Brady has owned the Steelers, going 7-2 against them, including 2-0 in the postseason. He’s thrown 20 TDs and only three INTs against a Pittsburgh defense that is perennially among the league’s best. Here’s a look back at the nine games:
Jan. 27, 2001: Patriots 24, Steelers 17
Brady’s first meeting with the Steelers came as a heavy underdog in the 2001 AFC Championship game. Brady went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but Drew Bledsoe came on in relief and the Patriots won on their way to a Super Bowl title.
