It may have wound up being a closer game than what many envisioned, that won’t bring any comfort to Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans. Numerous failed opportunities dropped the Steelers to the New England Patriots 27-16.
Jarvis Jones forced a fumble on the Patriots’ first offensive play of the game, ripping the ball away from receiver Chris Hogan, to give the Steelers the ball at New England’s 45. But Landry Jones forced a throw to Antonio Brown on third down and was picked off in the end zone by Malcolm Butler.
