Gameday: Patriots at Steelers updates

3rd & 7 37yd

Announcers always pause for a moment before saying Jean Francois (as in Ricky). It's like a little wind-up.

Big, big stop by the Patriots' defense. Just out of FG range. Steelers had scored 17 points on their last three drives before this punt

Sean Davis cannot cover Gronk.

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:16:43 PM
Brady's gonna want that one back

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:18:35 PM
Pretty sure that's first time Brady picked by Steelers since 2005.

Le'Veon Bell three yard TD scamper. Elandon Roberts shot the wrong gap

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:22:55 PM
Bell with the 3-yard TD run. Man is he elusive even in traffic. #Steelers bump lead to 24-16. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/17/2017 11:23:35 PM
Steelers take a 24-16 lead with 1:33 left 3Q. brady's horrible decision proves costly

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:23:54 PM
Roethlisberger has a sore hand, Antonio Brown is out, and Patriots still can't stop the Steelers. Le'Veon Bell is a horse

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:24:24 PM
Gronk has 6 catches for 99 yards. He has two 100-yard games this season

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:28:26 PM
This Rob Gronkowski character is pretty, pretty good

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:28:30 PM
Patriots' offensive line is falling apart

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:29:40 PM
Uh. Trey Flowers had to cover Le'Veon Bell again.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:36:49 PM
Steelers now 10 for 13 on third down. Not exactly a championship performance by the Patriots D

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:39:52 PM
Now Steelers RB James Conner is down. Teammates are waving the medical staff onto the field

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:41:32 PM
Steelers RB James Conner is down.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:41:50 PM
Connor is carried off the field, can't put any pressure on his right leg

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:43:04 PM
Big stop by the Patriots' D, thanks to some Steelers penalties. Still a one score game

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:46:16 PM
My most deeply held belief is that men are idiots who do things like run across a field and get handcuffed for fun.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter retweeted by NoraPrinciotti 12/17/2017 11:47:54 PM
Idiots on the field. Made it about 75 yards. Finally gave themselves up and got pummeled https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRSU774XkAIstS8.jpg

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:48:34 PM
Sprained knee for Conner. Return doubtful.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:51:14 PM
Brandin Cooks big catch, but that one's coming back

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:52:16 PM
This game is FLYING twitter.com/panny2727/stat…

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:53:34 PM
Gronk draws obvious DPI.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:53:40 PM
Amendola was WIDE OPEN on that last throw. Brady never looked his way

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:55:29 PM
Steelers haven't needed to bring extra rushers to get to Brady.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:56:29 PM
Gostkowski 46 FG is good, and the score is now Steelers, 24, Patriots 19 with 3:56 left 4Q. Patriots have all three timeouts left

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:56:32 PM
Gostkowski's 46-yarder cuts #Steelers lead to 24-19. There's 3:56 left. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/17/2017 11:56:44 PM
Gostkowski good from 46 yards out. Patriots trailing 24-19 with 3:56 left. Have all three TOs. Need defense to give them a chance to score again.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/17/2017 11:57:25 PM
Impressive job by the Steelers to shorten this game and keep the ball out of Brady's hands. Bell has 28 touches, Steelers have 32:26 in possession

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/17/2017 11:57:31 PM
There it is, Patriots get the stop 1 yard short and call timeout. 2:13 left, Pats have 2 timeouts and the 2 minute warning

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:02:05 AM
Ben, and a big whiff by Eric Lee, turns -10 into +5.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/18/2017 12:02:11 AM
Brady gets another chance.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/18/2017 12:02:37 AM
This is a good game.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/18/2017 12:03:41 AM
5 point game. 2:06 left. Brady 78 yards from the end zone. Gotta love it.

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:03:42 AM
Gronk now has 7 catches for 125 yards. His third 100-yard game this year and second in a row

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:04:56 AM
Gronk with an awesome reaction to that catch that the broadcast didn't show. He is PUMPED

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:07:54 AM
Gronk is unreal.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/18/2017 12:08:33 AM
Gronk's reaction last time was a lot like the one this time. Now has 9 catches for 168 yards. One-man wrecking crew

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:08:36 AM
Dion Lewis 8 yards for the score. Unbelievable

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/18/2017 12:09:17 AM
Holy shit.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 12/18/2017 12:10:11 AM
Down by 5 with two minutes to go? No problem. Patriots drive 77 yards in 5 plays in 1:10. Dion Lewis with his 5th TD of the year (fourth rushing). Two pointer to Gronk is GOOD.

Patriots 27, Steelers 24 with 0:56 left. What a game.
