Steelers
W 21-14 at Patriots · Sep 21, 2025
Misery Index · Miserable
Steelers fans won by seven and somehow left more convinced the season ends in a wild card blowout.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Rodgers found C.Austin deep left for the go-ahead 17-yard score with 2:20 left, and the defense bailed everyone out twice — Ca.Heyward punching the ball loose from R.Stevenson at the goal line, N.Herbig stripping D.Maye into T.Watt's hands. A win that somehow felt like an indictment: the offense needed two defensive touchdowns' worth of help to clear a rookie quarterback by seven, and the protection situation looks like a problem with a clock on it.
