Quarterback C
After not managing a TD a week earlier in Kansas City, Ben Roethlisberger could produce just two against the Patriots — which is not the way to keep up with Tom Brady. Roethlisberger was 16 of 22 for 136 yards in the first half and finished 31 of 47 for 314 yards, numbers that are respectable. But he failed to convert twice from the 2-yard line, the sixth time in the past two games the offense didn’t score a touchdown in the red zone.

The loss of Le’Veon Bell, who went out with a groin injury in the second quarter, really hampered the offense.
