If you’re ever curious about why Steelers Nation detests the New England Patriots, Sunday’s 27-24 defeat incorporated just about every possible example. In a game where Pittsburgh appeared to do nearly everything right (e.g. Ben Roethlisberger playing one of his best games; zero turnovers by the offense—save the play that sealed the deal; and a great performance by Le’Veon Bell), New England still walked out of Heinz Field with the win. In the process, the Patriots took what should have been the Black-and-gold’s greatest triumph of the season and left ashes in their Christmas stockings.
