People are really missing the X-Factor. Ben and the Offense against the Patriots Defense.
Tom Brady may be a chief reason why the Patriots have success against the Steelers, but it's not the only reason. Ben and the Offense have been nothing short of mediocre against the Pats D.
In the past few games against the Pats. The Steelers Offense has made a habit of making the average Patriots D look dominant. Does anyone not forget how the Pats limited the Steelers O? Last years game score is so misleading that it doesn't really tell the story of how bad the Steelers were whipped. Ben was sacked five times, threw a pick 6 and the Steelers Offense didn't score a touchdown until the 4th Quarter. Before that a Jeff Reed FG was the only points they scored all night.
Ben has had only one good game against the Pats. His Rookie year. Since then, he's struggled against them.
People are so enamored with "How will the Steelers D deal with Brady?" like the Defense will have to pull this out. Well, how will Ben handle the Patriots D? The D can do so much when the Offense can't score, especially against the Pats. The Steelers Offense will have to show up and play too. I don't care what you do on Defense, you're not limiting the Patriots too much. They're going to have their success Sunday. Ben has to show up and get over this Pats mental block he has.
