The Steelers on Halloween 2004 stopped the NFL record 21-game winning streak of the Patriots with a barrage of big plays early in the game. Ben Roethlisberger showed no fear against Bill Belichick’s defensive schemes, and was able to help the offense stay on track with timely passes and a great day from the ground game. They also got a pick six of Tom Brady, and the New England run game did nothing against a motivated Steelers defense. New England got their revenge three months later in the AFC Title Game, but on this day the Steelers were the better team.
8. Sunday December 16th 2001 at Baltimore Ravens 26–21

Matt, I seriously think you’ve overlooked the 1993 MNF game vs the AFC back to back defending Conference Champs, Buffalo Bills. It was a statement game for Bill Cowher’s Steelers who were eliminated in the play-offs by the Bills @ Three Rivers. Final score : 24-0.

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the comment – the 93 Bills game was on the long original list for sure and was one of the last ones to get taken off to get the list to 20 games. I think the reason I stayed away from it was due to the aftermath of that game. The following week they were beat up bad by the Broncos, and then lost the next Sunday night to the Oilers. Overall after beating the Bills the team went 3-4 and had to claw their way into the playoffs. Just seemed like the team was never the same after that win, which again is kind of why I kept it off the list. Thank you again for the comment!
