Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots

Was there anything there to cheer about? The Steelers defense got burnt deep a couple times. Other than that it held up reasonably well until the fourth quarter when most defenses tire out. For awhile, it looks like the Steelers offense could keep up with the Patriots, but that was only during the first half. Actually, the Steelers offense wasn't that bad. They were able to move the ball -- even in the second half. The problem was they couldn't get the ball into the end zone. I loved the fact that in the first half the Steelers went for it on fourth down -- twice. It showed a willingness to go for broke. I will also say that I feel like this was the first lose that the Steelers took that was legit. Those other loses against teams like the Jets and Arizona, those were just sad loses. What else is there to say? I will say it didn't look like the Steelers ever gave up. And I'm sure that they want another chance (in the playoffs) at beating the Patriots.
