Are the Patriots THAT good?

The Steelers held their own early on, but the Patriots pulled away in the second half and defeated the black and gold 34-13 at Gillette Stadium.

The loss puts the Steelers at 9-4, still holding a one-game lead in the AFC North over Cleveland who defeated the New York Jets. The Patriots remained unbeaten at 13-0.

The Steelers were down by only four at the half, 17-13, but the offense wasn’t able to the ball in the end zone in the second half while the Patriots exploded.

“The Patriots were the better team today,” said head coach Mike Tomlin. “We couldn’t stop them consistently and couldn’t make critical plays when we had to, particularly in the second half. We have some work to do. We have a ways to go. If that’s the measuring stick, we aren’t close.”
