After an embarrassing loss to the 2-10 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered an even worse one on Thursday Night, losing 21-18 to the New England Patriots, who also came into the game at 2-10.
The Steelers won the toss and deferred, so the Patriots offense started with the ball. New England’s offense had some success on it’s opening drive, as RB Ezekiel Elliott caught a screen pass for 12 yards on the second play of the game, and on the third, QB Bailey Zappe went deep to WR JuJu Smith-Schuster for a 37-yard gain to the Pittsburgh 26.
