For at least a night, the New England Patriots had naysayers on hush mode after marching into Acrisure Stadium and knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers in a surprising upset win.
The 21-18 victory came on a night when the Patriots were as limited as they’ve ever been at the skilled positions. There was no Rhamondre Stevenson, DeVante Parker or Kayshon Boutte in this matchup.
And it didn’t matter.
The Patriots offense rallied around quarterback Bailey Zappe and put together their best performance since their win over the Buffalo Bills back in October.
