Former Steeler claims Patriots cheated him out of Super Bowl appearance

The controversy hanging over the New England Patriots organization in regards to Spygate might be in the past, but it’s one of those infamous black marks in franchise history that never really went away,

Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Barrett Brooks was the latest to bring it up when appearing on the Legal Hands To The Face podcast.

He specifically brought up the 2004 AFC Championship Game, which pitted the Patriots on the road against the Steelers. New England was already coming off a Super Bowl victory in the previous season, and they were looking to repeat as champions.
