Another classic revenge game in the early parts of the Patriots dynasty comes during the 2004 season. The Patriots opened up the season with 6 consecutive wins to establish an NFL record 21-game win streak that started in October 2003. The streak would end in Heinz Field, Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh Steelers led by a veteran defense and rookie hotshot Ben Roethlisberger blew out the Patriots 34-20. The Patriots would come back to Pittsburgh in January and return the favor with a 41-27 beating in which they turned Roethlisberger into a chump and victimized a vaunted Steelers defense.
