The Pittsburgh Steelers took on the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game, and what would ultimately be their last game of the 2016-17 season; the Patriots were too much to handle on this occasion, beating the Steelers by a score of 36-17.
The Patriots kicked their way to an early lead, as a 6 play, 62 yard drive all through the air was capped off by a Stephen Gostkowski 31 yard field goal. A decisive play in this drive was Julian Edelman’s 41 yard reception- leaking out, he shed off an Artie Burns tackle and galloped down the field.
