Steelers must defeat Brady
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers insist all is not lost, that their season remains salvageable.
If so, the winning needs to start in a place they rarely do against a quarterback they’ve never beaten on the road.
No big deal.
It’s only Tom Brady and the rebuilt on the fly yet somehow still formidable New England Patriots.
All due respect to the future Hall of Famer, Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley isn’t really concerned about who lines up in the backfield for the first-place Patriots (6-2) on Sunday.
After an embarrassing loss to Oakland last weekend dropped Pittsburgh to 2-5, Woodley is more concerned about his own team’s significant issues than trying to explain why Brady has dominated the Steelers.
“We have to get back going,” Woodley said. “No matter who is back there, we have to eliminate the mistakes.”
Something that can be difficult when Brady is on the other side of the line of scrimmage. The 36-year-old is 6-2 against Pittsburgh in his career, including a 2-0 mark at home.
He’s thrown 16 touchdowns against three interceptions in those eight meetings.
