The Sacks Were Few, But The Pressure Was Timely in Victory Over Patriots

The Pittsburgh Steelers finally did it. They finally beat the bully. The bully obviously being Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The Steelers’ defense put on a performance that Pittsburgh will not forget for a very, very long time. Keith Butler coached a unit that managed to limit Brady to just one touchdown, an 89.9 passer rating while holding the entire Patriots’ offense to just 10 points. Most surprising of all this is that the Steelers’ defense managed to cause all this chaos while only sacking Brady once.

The last time Brady was sacked once or less and lost was way back on December 28th 2014, a 17-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, now nearly four years ago.
