00:02 The New England Patriots entered as a 2-10 football team and

00:07 as a six-point underdog on the road in Aquachure.

00:11 And they leave a three-win football team after scoring 21 points

00:16 against the Steelers to win outright as the six-point underdog 21-18.

00:22 Donnie, it was remarkable to see that because not only did we predict

00:27 Pittsburgh would be resilient in their bounce back effort after a disappointing

00:31 result on a weird football game with multiple lengthy weather delays and

00:35 Kenny Pickett getting injured early on against a two-win team at the time,

00:40 the Arizona Cardinals.

00:41 But that wasn't just our prediction.

00:43 Mike Tallman called it redemption week for the Steelers, and

00:47 that was the result to kick off week number 14.

00:49 >> Yeah, it was a really poor effort overall here from the Steelers and

00:53 also particularly from their defensive side.

00:55 Now granted, they made some adjustments at the half,

00:57 they shut out the New England Patriots.

00:59 But I think the Patriots went into that mode of, okay, we have the lead,

01:01 we're just gonna siphon this clock away, not make any disastrous decisions.

01:06 Which again, they got a pump blocked here through an interception,

01:08 didn't help their cause.

01:09 But if you're gonna run yourself out to a 21,

01:11 excuse me, I said three touchdowns in the first half,

01:14 that's gonna dictate what you wanna do, not what the other team does.

01:17 And also Mitchell Trubisky, apologized, let down Steeler Nation.

01:21 You think you did that?

01:22 22 of 35, a buck 90, quite frankly, didn't even get over his passing prop until

01:26 those final 18 seconds of the game, where they were just letting you do whatever you

01:29 wanted here, as long as you stayed in bounds.

01:32 Just not a great performance overall QBR rating of 46.6.

01:35 But also, the prop that I like the best in this game was George Pickens.

01:39 Because what does he do?

01:40 One on one plays down the field, you throw it and give him a chance.

01:43 He had five catches in that game.

01:44 If he would have thrown me five catches before the game,

01:46 he'd easily go over 39 and a half yards.

01:48 But Dinkin and Duncan, sideline to sideline,

01:51 I don't know what the Pittsburgh Steelers were thinking.

01:52 But then again, why should we even be questioning?

01:55 It's Mitchell Trubisky, a quarterback.

01:56 And even though he had much better weapons than Bailey Zappi and

01:59 that New England offense, New England's offense looked leaps and

02:02 bounds better than the Steelers the entire night.
