Foxborough came in loud, left quiet. The Steelers jumped the Pats 14-0 with a grinder’s opening script: Kenneth Gainwell bullying in from a yard out and DK Metcalf taking a slick Rodgers dart for six. Aaron Rodgers wasn’t flashy, just surgical — 16/23, 139 yards, 2 TD — stacking enough chain-movers to keep New England chasing.

The Pats had a counterpunch. Rookie Drake Maye dialed up his security blanket — Hunter Henry (8 catches, 90 yards, 2 TD) — and New England clawed back. But the half’s hinge came on a red-zone miscue, a pick at the goal line that kept Pittsburgh up at the break, and the stat sheet started lying: the Pats would outgain the Steelers 387–203, yet still trail the vibe.

Third-quarter chaos? Yup. Spillane swiped Rodgers, only for New England to cough it back at the doorstep, and when the Pats finally knotted it on Henry’s second score early in the fourth, Gillette felt ready to tilt. Then came the swing: Nick Herbig’s blindside hit jarred the ball free and T.J. Watt scooped it like a hungry man at a buffet. That set the table for the clincher — Rodgers using Jaylen Warren’s tough yards to set up the go ball, then dropping a beauty to Calvin Austin III for the winner from 17. For the receipts crowd: New England’s five giveaways matched its most in a game since 2008 — also vs. Pittsburgh, per NFL.com. (nfl.com)

Steelers close it down 21-14, a road win built on timely defense and veteran poise. Big Dill of the Game: T.J. Watt — 2 sacks, a fumble recovery, and constant mayhem — the engine of every momentum swing the Steelers needed.
