Patrick Peterson: Miscommunications Tanked Defense In First Half Against Patriots

When the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots played on Thursday Night Football, nobody expected for the Patriots to score 21 points in the first half. That is more than they had scored in the previous three weeks combined. But that is exactly what happened with QB Bailey Zappe leading the Patriots offense to 209 yards and 21 points in the first half.

Current Steelers CB Patrick Peterson and former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden talked about this on their weekly podcast All Things Covered.

“Honestly, just us miscommunication and getting beat to the flats for the most part,” Peterson said during the podcast posted on YouTube.
