Globe reporters Ben Volin, Nora Princiotti, Christopher L. Gasper, and Scott Thurston provide analysis and updates as the Patriots take on the Steelers.

3rd & 7 37yd

Steelers start on their own 6. Time for Hightower to get his weekly safety

Bad drop by Edelman, who is having his way with Steelers, Timmons can't match up. Tomlin slow to adjust

by Scott Thurston via twitter 10/23/2016 9:42:26 PM
Now Edelman gets the dropsies on third down. Should've been a huge catch-and-run. Patriots sabotaging themselves today

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:42:25 PM
Boswell misses 42-yard attempt wide right, Patriots escape. 14-7 with 4:42 left.

by Scott Thurston via twitter 10/23/2016 9:34:20 PM
Boswell 42 FG is wide right. What a costly holding penalty. Patriots maintain 14-7 lead with 4:42 left 2Q

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:33:44 PM
That touchdown is coming back. Holding on the Steelers

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:30:57 PM
Dumb play by Jamie Collins, especially after watching Pittsburgh just do the same thing

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:28:03 PM
It's been like that all season. twitter.com/remiller11/sta…

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:21:58 PM
Landry Jones: 7 of 9, 112 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. Not bad

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:20:43 PM
Jones hits Heyward-Bey with 14-yard pass in corner of the end zone, 14-7.

by Scott Thurston via twitter 10/23/2016 9:19:33 PM
Thought Rowe had an opportunity to push DHB out of bounds, but he went for the ball instead

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 9:19:32 PM
Steelers fans are ...not happy with that penalty call. Patriots really need to defend the deep ball today, it's the one thing L Jones can do

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:51:58 PM
Looks like McDaniels is also using hard-copy photos when reviewing things with Brady on the bench

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:50:18 PM
Coates is now probable to return. #Steelers

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:50:18 PM
Most of the coaches on the Patriots' sideline are still using the tablets. Just not Belichick

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:48:53 PM
Brady is moving really well today. Clydesdale-like

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:42:32 PM
Sammie Coates has a left hand injury. Questionable to return. Yeesh.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:41:47 PM
Steelers WR Sammie Coates has a left hand injury and is Questionable to return

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:39:53 PM
Ruling stands. Hogan's fumble forced and recovered by Jarvis Jones. Steelers get ball at 45.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:32:40 PM
Ruling on the field stands. Steelers' ball on the Patriots' 45

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:32:23 PM
Fumble looks close, but don't think this gets overturned. Not conclusive

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:31:40 PM
Belichick back to using the ol' pen and paper today

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:31:12 PM
A hearty round of boos for the Patriots' offense as it takes the field. Bennett, Gronk, Hogan, Edelman and Blount are Brady's weapons

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:29:35 PM
Logan Ryan enters for the second play. Looks like Rowe will have a big role today however

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:27:50 PM
Eric Rowe gets the start today as CB2 over Logan Ryan. Jamie Collins is starting

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:26:47 PM
Fitzgerald Toussaint kneels for the touchback, Steelers will start first drive from the 25.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:26:40 PM
#Steelers won the toss and chose to receive.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 8:24:04 PM
Patriots call heads, coin comes up tails. Steelers choose to receive, not defer. Patriots are 2-9 on coin tosses this year (incl preseason)

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 8:23:58 PM
Brady and Garoppolo head out for warmups.

OJ Simpson. Earl Campbell. Ricky Williams. Jay Ajayi. twitter.com/apoupartFins/s…

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 7:44:51 PM
Jay Ajayi, the new Ricky Williams? Damn

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 7:44:03 PM
Here's a shocker. And just in time for next week's game vs the Patriots twitter.com/BuffaloBillsPR…

Jamie Collins, Brandon Bolden both active. Cyrus Jones still inactive, along with Hamilton, Valentine, Derby, Foster, Waddle, Richards.

by Nora Princiotti via twitter 10/23/2016 6:59:18 PM
Yes, Cyrus Jones is a CB, not a LB. Sorry for the mistake. Shea McClellin back after missing 2 games with a concussion

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:59:06 PM
That means Collins, Eric Rowe, Jonathan Coleman, Elandon Roberts and Shea McClellin are all ACTIVE today

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:58:26 PM
AJ Derby, DJ Foster, LaAdrian Waddle, Jordan Richards, Cyrus Jones, Vincent Valentine and Woodrow Hamilton are the Patriots' inactives

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:57:25 PM
Jamie Collins is ACTIVE for the Patriots. LB Cyrus Jones is still INACTIVE

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:56:53 PM
Never knew Antonio Brown's behavior was an issue for the Steelers. Interesting, insightful column from @RonCookPG post-gazette.com/sports/ron-coo…

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:46:21 PM
You know what they say -- when you've got six quarterbacks, you've really got none #Browns

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:43:10 PM
What a beautiful day for football in Pittsburgh http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CveQgIdXEAABttO.jpg

by Ben Volin via twitter 10/23/2016 6:31:00 PM
The success rate of the Hail Mary the last couple of years is insane. AJ Green snags another one

Loving today’s @PGSportsNow section, 20 pages long and chock full of ads. Old school.
