The hated Patriots came to town to face a depleted Steelers team. The mood among fans was either quiet resignation or blind optimism.

How much you wanna bet Tomlin's pregame speech was: "hey if Penn State can beat Ohio State, ANYTHING can happen!"

The Steelers got an early turnover and things started to look good, but it was short-lived as Landry threw an interception in the end zone.
That celebration was a little too graphic for me. I'm offended there's no flag

Jones has to put more underneath that. Low, liner. Easy pick. Just cost #Steelers 3 points.

Speaking of much-maligned guys named Jones who you didn’t expect to have a good day, Jarvis did too.
Jarvis Jones came to play today

I used to think "The #Steelers are aware how out of position on screens they are, and they'll fix it." I don't think that anymore.

That my friends is a New England call.

Can't tackle. NFL sucks

Tomlin doing Tomlin things
This seems to be an UNNECESSARY challenge… #NEvsPIT

But wait, Landry hits two passes and suddenly it’s only 14-7!
Hold on a second… put the rakes away!

Great drive for Landry. Pleasantly unexpected.

Splash plays is what will keep this team in the game. Love them taking shots. Can't win this one with a bunch of 12 play drives. #Steelers

The Steelers seemingly tied the game, but a holding call nullified a touchdown…
Saw the hold as soon as it happened. That's a fair call, just sucks.

….then Boswell missed
.@WizardOfBoz09 misses wide right. Yay

Noooooo

That whole “Timmons on Edleman” thing? Yeah, we never fixed that.
On this edition of Pats on 3rd down, Edelman drops an easy pass that would of been for a big gain. #Steelers will get the ball back

Best Hamilton

Landry is telling critics like me to suck it.
— SuckMeter (@SuckMeter) October 23, 2016
Antonio Brown headed to the locker room #Steelers. Doesn't look major but he's not in there

The Steelers' AAA team is playing pretty well today.

How do the Steelers lose sight of where Rob Gronkowski is on the field? The guy's 6-6, 265 pounds. #Patriots

In back-to-back years, Steelers said they planned to disrupt Gronk at the line. And there goes Gronk, untouched off the line.
— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) October 23, 2016
Gronk: "One more and I got 69 touchdowns. You know what I mean."
— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) October 24, 2016
Ryan Shazier:
"We’re looking like garbage right now (as a defense). We have to do better. This is terrible right now."
