The Steelers season quickly spiraled out of control. Instead of sitting at 10-2-1 they blew away leads in three games and found themselves at 7-5-1 up against New England.
The team would be without James Conner for the second straight week but it did not seem to phase them. Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley prepared to share the role of running back but it was Samuels who stepped up huge.
The offense went right down the field and scored on the Steelers first drive. New England put up a huge 63-yard touchdown on a busted coverage and shortly after, Antonio Brown caught his thirteenth touchdown.
