For Steelers, beating Patriots not as special as you'd think

PITTSBURGH -- They knocked off the New England Patriots for the first time in seven years with the defense prominently featured. The Steelers aren't about to act like that doesn't mean something.

"That's a good feeling for us," said cornerback Joe Haden, whose fourth-quarter interception swung momentum in a 17-10 victory.

"It was just time, man," added fellow corner Mike Hilton about snapping the Patriots' five-game winning streak over his squad.

But this team has seen too much, knows too much to hyperventilate over any win.
