Patriots School Steelers 36-26

Forget about the 10 point difference in the final score, that is just window dressing.

The Patriots had control of this game from start to finish. They schooled the Steelers, through and through.

With a Baltimore loss the Steelers squandered their chance to put themselves in the pole position in the AFC playoff race. Instead, we could easily be spending Christmas and New Years memorizing NFL tie breaking rules.... (And maybe not even that if we cannot get better play out of the line.)

...Its 2:05 here in Buenos Aires, and work looms in the morning. More tomorrow.
