Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger spoke with reporters via conference call today about facing the Patriots on Sunday in PIttsburgh.

Here are excerpts from the Q&A, provided by the Patriots media relations staff.

Tomlin
When you look at this Patriots defense, is there something that you see has changed from the first two games compared to the last three or four?
MT: Nothing substantial. I think that they have a personality and they play to it. They don’t beat themselves, they’re very rarely out of place, they’re very good at situational football.

What did you learn from last year’s game against New England? Did you learn anything about the way you guys defended Tom Brady and this offense based on last year?
MT: They beat us pretty convincingly. You come away with that thought process but not anything ground breaking. I think we have to play better. We have to prepare better, we have to put together a better plan than we did a year ago and ultimately we have to perform better.
