Pittsburgh defeats New England, 34-20, to snap the Patriots’ NFL record 21-game winning streak, 18 in regular-season play. Rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger throws two touchdown passes in the first quarter as the Steelers build up an 18-point lead, and the outcome is never in doubt. Playing without injured running back Corey Dillon, the Pats gain exactly five yards rushing all day, but they’ll shrug off this setback and go on to beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl for their third NFL title in four years.
