STEELERS @ PATRIOTS...TRIPLE DIAMOND Chronicles NFL Week 9 Game #8...STEELERS are in MUST-WIN Mode from here on out...PATS trying to stay atop the AFC East...A QB DRIVEN League with Big BEN vs Tom TERRIFIC yes indeed #STEELERSnation #SteelerGang #3DiamondChronicles

The Pittsburgh Steelers fall into Foxboro riding dirty as in 2-5 and looking on the outside at the AFC Tourney and on the inside for the 2014 NFL Draft deemed as the "Jadeveon Clowney/QB Sweepstakes. The Steelers lost last week to the Raiders that pushed them back from getting to that .500 mark was huge. Now they face a Patriots Team that has Key Injuries all over but they still have Tom and Bill and are 6-2 atop the AFC East. How will this one shakedown with a few major Storylines?

November 3, 2014 NFL Week 9

The Big Straight Razor...Gillette Stadium

#MenOfSTEEL STEELERS @ #BostonSTRONG PATS

The Steelers first and foremost need to establish the run and they need some solid run-blocking in the middle. The Pats have no DT Vince Wilfork or MLB Jerod Mayo and that opens up some things in the middle if the Steelers can take advantage of it. Can Big Ben get the Vertical Passing game going with Tone. 2-0. Go Go Sanders, and Heeeeeeath among others versus a Secondary that might not have #1 CB Aqib Talib? Rook RB Le'veon Bell was running well until he hit the Black Hole and the Steelers are Jekyll and Hyde as in 2013 they don't even know what they will be on Sunday until it starts unfolding.

The Pats come in 6-2 with Injuries like everyone else but adjusting on the fly like they always do. This is bad match up for the Steelers as they have no Pass Rush and now its Tom Brady in the Pocket.  The Pats will try to also get the run Game going after losing LT Sebastian Vollmer to a Broken Leg last week. Pats RBs Stevan Ridley and Legarrette Blount will challenge the Steelers Front and that might determine the outcome of the game. Both Pats Rook WRs in Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson have come on like the Pats though they would. Can the Steelers Secondary stop that Pats Passing attack as Brady should have all Sunday and part of Monday to throw?

Steelers QB Big Ben has called it a Must-Win Game and he will have to keep saying that until the Steelers end 2013 in NFL Week 17 or loss #7 which could come within the next few weeks. Pats trying to stay ahead of the 2nd Place Phins and Gang Green in the AFC East.

Winner: PATS 38-24 with Tom Terrific doing what Tom Terrific does!...Steelers need to reload in the Draft 2014 as 2013 looks a Wash!
