Jerome Bettis Says He Knows Patriots Cheated In ’04 Championship Game

Every so often, at least once a year, we’re talking about the 2004 AFC Championship Game. Reliving the painful memory of the Pittsburgh Steelers historic season, going 15-1 with a rookie Ben Roethlisberger, and making it to the AFC Title Game after a wild win over the New York Jets (we thank you again, Doug Brien). It ends with the New England Patriots playing spoiler and ending the Steelers’ magical run. Inevitably, the conversation turns to accusations of the Patriots cheating, a scandal that would play out in Spygate.

This time, it’s former Steelers’ RB and Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis making the claim.
