Week 8 game between the Patriots and the Steelers was one of the most hyped games of the season so far. In the middle of all the hype was the two quarterbacks was Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady with people wanting to see who would reign superior in this matchup of two elite quarterbacks.

The Patriots were shutdown by the Steelers defense ending the first quarter with a score of 7-0. The Steelers struck first again with a a 33 yard field goal increasing their lead to 10-0. The Patriots were able to come back thanks to an interception by Devin McCourtey in Pittburgh territory. Tom Brady was able to hook up with Deion Branch to bring the Patriots within 3 points of the Steelers. Unfortunatley it was all Steelers from there ending the first quarter leading 17-10. The second half was more of the same. The Steelers were able to dominate the Patriots offense holding them to no points in the second quarter while adding on a field goal by their offense. As time ran down on the fourth quarter the Patriots went in to desperation mode. An early field goal put the Steelers up by 13 points making it a two possesion game. With only two minutes left Brady was able to drive the Patriots down the field for another touchdown but it proved to be to little to late as the Steelers were able to recover an onside kick attempt and let the clock run down ending in a 23-17 victory.
